Norman church tower
encompassed by scaffolding.
~stairway to heaven~
Twelfth-century ghosts whisper,
“What’s all this health and safety?”

  To think stonemasons used to have superpowers and could scale walls like Spiderman 😉

  And thanks to health and safety, the scaffolding is due to ruin a few wedding photos! So much for couples wanting to get married in a picturesque church D:
