:)Today I dragged my two teenagers on the Backney Bridge to Foy circular walk. How beautiful is that walk?!..We saw swans flying, early ducklings and bluebells, not to mention the imposing pillars of Backney rising out of the River Wye. The footbridge at Foy is a real knee wobbler!
Was intrigued to visit Foy because it had been my great grandmother's home as a child. She was christened at Brampton Abbots but all her siblings were christened at Foy. Her name was Alice Goode. I didn't find any relatives in the churchyard
We arrived at the church and the doors were wide open. I felt a little anxious about going inside - totally irrational!
It felt very strange, but lovely at the same time to walk up the aisle that Alice walked up when she married in 1898.
A lovely day and one I won't forget.
