thank you for your article.
I am a Cath...Dear Fr.V,<br />thank you for your article.<br />I am a Catholic religious artist who also restores the same.<br />I was a toddler when this document was written so I am seeing it thanks to you for the first time. <br />I visit lots of different churches and I wonder could you comment on the straggly house plant displays that churches hang on to when past their best?<br />Especially the leggy swiss Cheese plants and philodendrons ( devils Ivy - should be chucked by virtue of the name alone!) that have yellowed from over watering. The ones no one dare throw out.<br />Perhaps thats just a U.K. thing...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
