In the garden of the Friends Meeting House (Quaker Church) in Hitchin, are the current swathes of buttercups. I gain immense delight from the ever changing flora that follows the seasons. #hitchin #buttercups #friendsmeetinghouse #quakers

For Armistice Day, the Quakers in Hitchin, hung white paper Doves of Peace on the trees by the Friends Meeting House (what other denominations would call the Quaker church) They symbolise peace and the commitment to 'utterly reject war' in a declaration made in 1660. #hitchin #quakers #friendsmeetinghouse #dovesofpeace
