Quaker Tapestry Exhibition

After The Textile and Focus Exhibition, I went into Ely to see

The Quaker Tapestries at Ely Cathedral.

I first had a lovely lunch in the Almonanry Tea Rooms.

I have a real soft spot for Ely as

Stewart and I met there 27 years ago.

The Tapestries were beautifully made and were

so intricate and shared with so many across the world

not only in their making but in the exhibiting.

I was listening to the personal audio when

a lady I did my City and Guilds Embroidery with

over 14 years ago

and is also from the Shetland Islands, came over and we

had a lovely catch up chat. We admired the tapestries together.

Ely Cathedral felt even more special.

I went around the Cathedral and saw many more things

I haven't noticed before.

I sat and reflected for a while as life has been great

but hectic and the calm of the Cathedral was really regenerative.

Quiet contemplation is always good for the soul,

where ever you find that quiet place.

I count my blessings everyday and feel very

very lucky.
