I know the walls in Gloucester cathedral café may not all be dead straight but I reckon the picture of the window is on the slant! If you're like me you have this urge to straighten it - perhaps I need to talk to someone about this . .

In days of old when Knights were cold they had a cup of tea!
Outside Gloucester cathedral, actors were taking a break during the filming of the BBC productions of William Shakespeare's Henry IV & V to be broadcast during the Olympics in 2012.
Unfortunately the BBC has taken over the cathedral and there was little left for tourists!

The 21m high sculpture, which is set to become a Gloucester landmark, at the Gloucester the docks.

The work, known locally as the Candle was designed by Nottingham-based artist Wolfgang Buttress and is part of the city's regeneration project.

Around the base of the sculpture are the first few lines of Requiem, a poem by renowned war poet and composer Ivor Gurney, born and educated in Gloucester who also played the organ at the nearby Mariners’ Chapel. Gurney, who fought at Passchendaele in the First World War, is known for his passionate, lyrically beautiful poetry and his love of his home city and the surrounding countryside.
