This is the church where I used to be vicar.

Pretty little building.

How do you feel towards the building now? Is it like an old school, which you're not, and can't be, part of any more, but retain fond memories for and still feel a sense of connection to?

Or is this such a big question it would require a long post in its own right to answer it? ;)

It's twenty years since I left.

I feel less emotional connection than I do to my old school. In fact I feel very little emotional connection at all. It's a place where I once spent some time and that's about it. The memories I have of it aren't particularly fond, but nor are they particularly hostile. That part of my life seems very distant now.

I like it as much as anything because it's an attractive building. It's a pity I can't show the interior, which is really very fine.

Ah, so perhaps just like any former place of work, then?

Is there a ban on interior photography, or can you just not get a decent picture in the lighting conditions?

"Ah, so perhaps just like any former place of work, then?"

Yes, exactly. It's just a rather decorative office building.

I didn't go inside because they keep it locked.

Well put. By the way, I always thought it strange that they keep the doors to the church locked.

This is the norm over here. We're an irreligious society and churches run a high risk of being robbed and vandalised.
