Wells Cathedral

Oh, how very exciting my dears, for my guardians have taken the opportunity to visit Wells Cathedral in the run up to the festivities. What a glorious architectural triumph with scissor arches, a beautiful clock, stained glass and enough stone carving to delight all. It was a most fortunate choice of day for t'was relatively quiet in the smallest city in the country. Not that this dimmed the festive preparations for the Cathedral was preparing for an afternoon and evening of musical enjoyment. As they took in the architectural splendour, beautiful music echoed through the space; so delightful and joyous. My guardians were much taken with this beautiful building.

A quiet stroll through the Bishops Palace, followed sedately along the moat by the Swans hoping for a pre-Christmas treat. On through the arches they ambled and enjoyed the festive wares on display, stopping to enjoy a light lunch in a most delightful vegetarian establishment, well known for its delicious offerings - Neither did it disappoint on this occasion. Such a calm and peaceful time was had, not rushed or harried by over wrought people; a genteel pace to balance life. 

Home now, a fire laid in preparation for a quiet evening; the curtains drawn against the darkening sky with only glimpses of the parish lantern for there is much cloud in this early evening sky.
