Little bike to the coast yesterday eve. I reckon the bearded one, having given us a lovely Summer will unleash all manner of misery over Winter….making the most of it.
I don’t know why you bothered going all the way to Yorkshire for a day out. There was a big billboard on Upper Richmond Road at the weekend that was advertising short breaks in Manchester
Thanks for the comments. Yes very very lucky to use the Cathedral .I believe that you have to get permission from the Arch Bishop of Canterbury to do so. My ex wife has been going for 30+ years so basically pulled a favour.
It was meant to be in one of the side Chapels but they suffered a lot of damage in the recent storms, so we were in the main nave. We entered by the West Gate which is a set of double doors; they are absolutely huge. As we approached the doors were closed shut. The vicar turned to me and my daughter and the two other members of the clergy and said ‘Has anyone got a key?’ Not sure whether that relaxed me or not.
As to the acoustics. Well the grooms family is from Wales so we had the ‘Bread of Heaven’ hymn and as we are England we had Jerusalem so a bit of a sing off really.
And as the cost of the day, well lets not go there. Worth every penny
Thanks. Its silly really that it is so difficult. I am not in the slightest bit religious but a Cathedral setting is magnificent and very moving. These buildings should be used
