Yesterday, I took Mrs CJ to the Regency Town of Cheltenham for the afternoon and let her loose in the shops and escaped to the nearby city of Gloucester, famous for it's Cathedral, it's two cheeses, (so good that they name it twice) and it's Three Choirs.
You can read my thoughts on my return to listen to a live Choral Evensong for the first time since 1980 (Although I did return to record a televised performance of Verdi's Quatro Pezzi Sacrae for the BBC conducted by Sir Andrew Davis a few years later) and my assessment of their DOM on my other blog site.
You can also see some photographs I took in the gloom on my picasa site. Although it is one of the more photogenic cathedrals the interior was very dark and I feel a return journey in the summer will allow some more productive shots of the beautiful interior.
