On an overcast morning, with all the holiday makers gone, and the schools starting today I took the drive to Belvidere near Knysna.\u00a0 I had the streets almost to myself except for the garden services mowing the lawn and the odd resident walking their dog.<\/p>\n
As with so many places near your home you tend to seldom visit them, because they will always be there, but as I slowly drove into the village at nine o\u2019clock a Knysna loerie was spreading its red wings as it crossed the road in the tree tops.\u00a0 What a welcoming sight!\u00a0 This alone was worth the visit.<\/p>\n
When I arrived at the Holy Trinity Church, designed by Sophy Gray, with its romantic setting and history there was a service.\u00a0 So I strolled around the village to make up time, because I wanted to visit this historic church after reading its story.\u00a0 Luckily the church is open from 08:30 until 17:00 every day (entrance free of charge) except when there is a service.\u00a0 So time was on my side!<\/p>\n
