Winchester in the dark last night, cold and wintry and it had been a long day, but still all was calm and surprisingly quiet (is it surprising that a cathedral town is quiet on a Monday, I guess not) but still the bells tolled as they do.

He said he needs guidance on basic English and this should set him up - I hope so. But time I was rolling... I will blog a better one tomorrow (I hope). This is the Bach I am listening to right now - it seems to go with the cathedral:
