All in the name of love....and a bike race and too many Negronis 🙄

My wife is not happy that I won't go in to the churches in Italy with her for the same reason as you complain to yours about them.

Went to Rome many years ago and went to the Vatican. Came out and said never again. Awful show of excess.

To be fair I did make her wait 2 hours up Col Aperto just to get a glimpse of Pogacar 😂

I'm not a believer but I like lots of ecclesiastical architecture.

Sure I'm bothered by the show of excess, but that's also the attraction!

As in most things, one man's meat is another man's poison.

In cycling terms, I hate the look of Bromptons. I gather one or two like them.

There's a certain peaceful quality you seem to get in cathedrals which I've never experienced anywhere else.

I love religious architecture. Mosques, churches, Buddhist or Hindu temples, standing stones even. They do have a special atmosphere and there's a lot to admire in the human skill and endeavour of both their construction and decoration. Shame Henry the 8th revamped so many of the English ones with the equivalent of two coats of magnolia emulsion.
