An Eng. lit. student could find lots of symbolism in the pic of the two women paddling down the river in view of the caption. Hopefully the oboeist(if there is one)and the French horn player in the orchestra are not suffering too much agony. Lots of fun.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816796977553847916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-33946071940209827262012-05-20T20:34:45.459+01:002012-05-20T20:34:45.459+01:00had to look at a map for Ely--nice to see the folk...had to look at a map for Ely--nice to see the folks enjoying a pleasant day--it's mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701940616523413217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-51494785939544523742012-05-20T19:14:02.506+01:002012-05-20T19:14:02.506+01:00Oh so nice to see the townsfolk at their normal do...Oh so nice to see the townsfolk at their normal doings. <br />What memories well up of sitting on a bench sharing exquisite pork pies and cider with the best view of the cathedral. Freezing hands in the thin March sunshine. Every time we were in Cambridge, we always went on a pilgrimage to Ely where the priest would welcome visitors during mass.<br />I am still amazed at the lightness of the late Gothic Lady Chapel and the delicacy of the headless (except for two) figures.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.com
