Flint

I cycle past this impressive church every week on the way to play football - I find it both beautiful and a little sinister. It’s maybe something to do with the unusual building materials: it’s the only flint-stone Norman-style building in Oxford. Or maybe it’s the spookily hooded monks who appear out of the depths on misty evenings!

“Wise anger is like fire from a flint: there is great ado to get it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately”
(Edward Everett Hale).
