You are getting close but still not the correct island!
Sorry I didn't get your bovine links, blame it on the late night or me being a bit slow!

Well done Hugo, you are correct.
We were over there for a wedding at Tourteval church which you can see in the background of this photo of the real cows!

Here is a 'current' question.
Where is this Church? and why is it receiving more than usual attention at the moment?

Is it a Scottish Church in connection with the discussions about legalising Gay Marriages in Scotland?  Could it be Kilcaldy?

Or is it Holy Trinity & St Mary's Church, Grimsby?

No none of those--try again, will post another clue tomorrow.
Just as asmall clue-- the newly edged graves under the willow tree are significant.

Are theroots of the willow tree affecting the graves?  Don't know where it is though!

No White Rabbit-- I don't think so.
The graves have just been re-furbished and the railings re-painted-- I know the blue is ecclesiastical blue, but it looks a bit 'loud'

http://www.wenlock-olympian-society.org.uk/

The church is Holy Trinity Much Wenlock.
The graves are of Willam Penny Brookes and his family. I did take a pic, but as we had just had a heavy rainstorm the grave top was standing in water and not very visible.
Much Wenlock has ' made a meal ' of it's connection to the Olympic Games with trails, plaques and exhibitions. The Olympian Society was formed in 1860 and led to the birth of the modern games.
The link above will explain why.

Have you been to Moelfre Anglesy recently because that looks like Richard (Dick) Evans

Well done Hugo. I thought you would get it because I remember you saying that you had walked the whole of the Anglesey coast path. That is what we have been doing today. I will post something in the walking section when I have sorted myself out.

I'll look forward to seeing your photos then Hollins.   We may be going to Moelfre in a few weeks for a short walk around that village, it's such a nice area around there.

     Where would you find these structures and what is their purpose?
