Evening in St Mary's Churchyard in Bridgwater. With Christmas rapidly approaching the tree is decorated with lights and the welcoming lights of the Golden Ball pub bathe the church pathway in a golden glow.

The PiP shows the High Street with Christmas decorations and the front of the Golden Ball i shighlighted in the note.

The present church dates back at least to 1157, although the original church was believed to predate the Norman Conquest. Additons to the church over the years, particularly through the 14th and 15th centuries resulted in the beautiful church we see today, Gothic in appearance with large stained glass windows and a spire of 174 ft, the tallest in the county, and it is a Grade 1 listed building.

I wish you all a very happy Christmas, whichever pathway you take - the road to righteousness or the road to revelry, and whether your hosts are of the angelic variety or just look like it after a few glasses of Christmas spirit!! Cheers!!

I have added a Jason Aldean song called " Church Pew or Bar Stool"
