Another lovely day this time in Ripon. Sweet Anglo-Saxon crypt, what look like some of the biggest organ pipes in the country, and a creepy hand (no idea whose!) in the choir

Lovely end to the evening reading about a journey in the footsteps of Bach from Arnstadt to Lubeck, while listening to this glorious cantata.

From another site...In Wales there is a legal requirement for road signs to be in both English and Welsh. In this case, the official of the Highways department emailed the English wording to the translator and, after receiving a reply, proceeded to have the sign made and installed....
