@katelamble Followed every episode - always clear and collected. Amazing job. I'm sure you'll go on to do more wonderful things, I'll follow with interest. Sorry for this interruption, I hope it's not distressing.
@SimoninSuffolk I think Southwark Cathedral also charge for a permit, although they then give you a basic guide as well. Isn't it just a way of charging for admission without denying anyone entry to God's house?
Art historians, medievalists, church-crawlers, lovers of light and colour:

A great sold-out(!) first #stainedglass walking tour of Dublin for the National Gallery: 4 churches, 3 hours and 7km. Gorgeous windows from Wilhelmina Geddes, Michael Healy and more. And some Opus Sectile too! Next tour is 22 June, not many tickets left! https://t.co/LJ03NutN2S

@Megthelibraria1 Loved it, desperately sad exploration of grief and the way past trauma can limit your ability to engage with the world, no matter how urgent is your need for love. And so many memorable images - that empty tower block. Gazing in from outside at a past you can't recover.
