Angels In The Architecture
In Carlisle Cathedral
Introduction
Today, with my sister Yvonne, and friends Nicola, Mick, Debbie and Harry, we met up in Carlisle.
We had drinks in The Griffin, which is a wonderful, welcoming pub by the station, and very reasonably priced, while being an impressive place. The barmaid was very helpful and the service was excellent.
Then on to La Mezzaluna where we had a wonderful lunch (I had a chicken risotto)
But That Cathedral Ceiling
I got to Carlisle an hour before everyone and took a walk to the Cathedral, which I did not know existed, and was very impressed. The second visit i noticed the angels and the stars, and was absolutely awestruck with ehat I saw:
A close-up of an angel.
Gold angels along the roof at where the ceiling meets the wall.
The whole lot.
Conclusion
I am amazed by the angels and stars in the architecture of Carlisle Cathedral, something which I did not know existed until today.
The staff at the cathedral were also very helpful.

Micah's Tea Rooms In Morpeth
Introduction Today I was in Morpeth and was wandering, I had vague plans but had missed breakfast and wanted a coffee. I wandered toward the river and saw a sign saying tea and coffee down a side street, so I wandered down and saw a beautifully decorated back yard, full of nice chairs and tables. I had found The Oasis Courtyard At Micah's Tea Rooms.

Australia is facing yet another environmental emergency as a relentless heat wave fuels massive wildfires across several states. With temperatures climbing far beyond seasonal averages, dry winds sweeping across parched land, and vegetation turning into tinder, the conditions have created a perfect storm for catastrophic bushfires.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

That place is awesome, Mike. Love that ceiling. Your lunch sounded good too. Another great virtual field trip.
Looks amazing Mike. Sounds like you had a great time!
If I ever make it back over to your side of the pond, you've just convinced me to take a trip to the Carlisle Cathedral. Also, I'm loving this song. Thanks for broadening my horizons yet again.
What an amazing feat of architecture. Thanks for sharing, Mike!
Wow. How gorgeous! Thanks for the info and pics, Mike!
