St Paul's

One of the first things that we did when we got to London last Friday after checking in to our hotel was to walk over to St Paul's to go to Evensong.

I'd been past the cathedral earlier in the week when heading back from a client to the office, and had noticed that the Friday afternoon service looked rather appealing, so Nicky kindly agreed that it could be one of our first stops for our weekend away.

The service included the installation of a new Minor Canon at the Cathedral, presided over by the Bishop of London, but that wasn't what had caught my eye on the notice board when I'd gone past.

I was there for Stanford in C, along with Faure's Cantique de Jean Racine.

And they were heavenly.
