March 15th, 2009 | 1 Comment

The web project I mentioned a few days ago has come to fruition. The Parish of Christ Church, Windsor, Nova Scotia, has gone online with a very spiffy website (if I say so myself).

It’s a very old joke, I know, but a British-born blogger who lives in Poland has added some hilarious updates. This has been around for years in one form or another but I always enjoy it.
