St Peter's Cathedral

This morning we left early to be in North Adelaide Melbourne street for Brian to see his eye specialist by 10.30am . As the express way is stop start and go slow, we decided to go through Morphett Vale and face the miriad numbers of traffic lights.It all went relatively smoothly and found a parking spot in the patient car park. So left Brian to see his doctor and I went and walked to St Peter's Cathedral past the Childrens Hospital and across various pedestrian crossings. Had a look at the Op Shop first and found two dear little glass fish which I bought on the way back.

When I entered the Cathedral a very nice man handed me a brochure showing the various points of interest in the magnificent building and I was able to have a selfguided tour. I was also able to take any photos I wanted to take except for art works on display.The magnificent stain glass windows are awe inspiring and to be able to wander and take a close look at carvings and furniture was just great.I love the Lady Chapel where you can sit quietly, reflect or pray, whatever moves you.While I was sitting there( the picture on your left is the Lady Chapel) someone started playing the magnificent organ and the music was just glorious. It reminded me too of being a 6 year old and in church with my parents, being so bored and counting the organ pipes, first the big ones and then the little ones and when I got tired of that and my mother had run out of peppermints to feed me to keep me quiet, I would count all the women's hats with feathers and then the ones without feathers....I'm sure the Good Lord forgave me ..
I had to leave all this beauty and walk back to collect Brian who did not get a very good report and has to come back in a months time.
