After a good long sleep and getting adjusted back to UK time it was off down to Worcester Cathedral for a walk around. We happened to be in town during the Three Choirs Festival, so there were lots of events going on.
This part of the Cathedral (the altar) always strikes me as odd, with the very classical architecture and the garish ‘modern’ stitchery below.
The ceiling is simply spectacular.
There is even a little cart you can push around with an angled mirror on it so you can view the ceiling without craning your neck.
The glorious East Window.
One of the many sculptures.
Light a candle and pray.
It’s is a beautiful building.
After that we headed outside to check out some of the music and have some local Bennetts Dairy ice cream!
After that it was off round the corner to Royal Worcester Porcelain, always an interesting place to visit.
They were having a clearance sale and we managed to get a whole Spode (Party Time) set for £1 per piece!
Then a short walk back through the city.
Dinner was some poached salmon with boiled potatoes and fresh garden veges.
Finished off with a big box of cheese!
Continental Selection – yums!
More coming soon.
You can find all the posts on my UK trip:
Sainsbury’s rocks!!!
Blue Cheese FTW!
Love the 2nd photo of the ceilings. Seriously magnificent architectural works.
Hm, don’t think I’ve ever eaten any other cheese to the normal cheese. For some reason, I guess I cant get myself to eat large chunks of cheese instead of slices.
2nd photo of the ceilings rocks! 🙂 And what a place for photography. So many things to shoot.
Wow… amazing architecture…. and ur photography skill is damn good..
Jesus Christ! That’s some amazing architecture in the cathedrals in Worcester. The stained glass and ceiling art (there’s a term for this, I’m sure, but I can’t remember) is beautiful. You managed to capture the grandeur and sheer imposing size of the place. Nice one, ST.
I’ll go for the brie.
damned cheese. i wanted to comment on the cathedrals and here i’m totally taken over by the cheese.
poached salmon with boiled potatoes and garden{?} veg,,sorriest meal shoalin tiger ever had in long while

meggy: My mom prefers Sainsbury’s I prefer Tesco!
Reuben: Yah at least can get some decent danish blue here.
moons: Thanks 🙂 Well you slice this cheese la dude you don’t bite a big chunk, it’s just not those processed rubber Kraft slice kinda cheese.
Nicholas Leong: Every place has a lot of things to shoot, it’s just what you make of it.
carrie: Thanks, you’re too kind!
Huai Bin: Thanks, it really is glorious there. Brie fan eh? Gotta make sure it sits out till it sags at the sides though!
kevin: LOL can’t blame you!
kaswira: Nah not really, good to have some good clean natural flavours, healthy and satisfying.
joshuaongys:Just do it!
Oh yes I know about the slicing the cheese, but hmm it’s like the first sight impression puts me off for some reason.
Could be the sight of the left over fermentation I guess. I don’t mind eating swiss cheese and those normal cheese, just not the ones where you still see fermentation or such.
Think you can get pretty similar cheese over here in Malaysia at Coldstorage as if I’ve not mistaken I’ve seen some at the KLCC branch.
moons: Hahah, you should check out the smell! Anyway asians eat much more disgusting looking things than cheese…and much more stinky horrible things (smelly and fermeted tofu!). Yeah it’s just very expensive, you can actually get it in Tesco deli too.
