Chester Cathedral

 


A buggy trip round Chester Cathedral turned out to be quite stressful and expensive.

Chester Cathedral  is a Church of England cathedral and the mother church of the Diocese of Chester. It is located in the city of Chester, Cheshire, England. The cathedral, formerly the abbey church of a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Werburgh, is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Copper on Blue

 


Totally surprised this afternoon when I sat watching the judging of the
RPS Digital Imaging Group annual competition on zoom. I nearly fell off my chair when the winner of the gold medal came up on the screen and it was mine. "Copper on Blue" was taken on one of our Wednesday evening visits to Bodnant Garden with Bailey.
