It sounds like you had a lot of fun with your ladies on the coach :-) I need to go back to Gloucester I missed the side chapel you mention and also the music in the stained glass windows…

I especially liked the little side chapel for departed Cathedral organists. I loved the printed music in the stained glass windows. It's the first time I've ever seen anything like this. The only downside was that it snowed on me in the cloister garden! I took shelter in the cafe and warmed myself with a hot chocolate. Later, outside in the market I came across a stall selling mulled wine. That warmed me up even more. Our WI are only too pleased to fill seats on the coach. All are welcome. I guess we are 'gender neutral' in Bourne end. The lady sat next to me asked if I played the organ at the Marlow regatta (she was from Marlow you see). I said no, but I had been to Cookham Regatta every year and played. I told her that when she got home, she could go on YouTube and search for 'Cookham Regatta' and I would probably pop up, organ and all. "No need to wait until I get home," she said and promptly whipped out her Smart Phone, loaded YouTube and the whole coach heard me play. What a laugh.

I have visited them all this year :-) What did you think of Gloucester Cathedral?
