After indulging in art, we took to music. Now here in the UK most places the size of St Davids (population 2,000) would have at most, a village hall in which to offer a recital, but St David’s is different, it has its very own cathedral
We went along to a concert performed in the by Elin Manahan Thomas (open the link and have her singing running for added atmosphere and goose-bumps to this post)
accompanied by the lovely young people of TheCardiff School of Music (who all looked no older than Tom.) Simply beautiful music in a spectacular location
It was something of a treat for Mrs Ogg and I to walk to the pub for our supper saunter down to the cathedral for the concert and then stroll back to the cottage.

What a beautiful voice! I have been to St David’s cathedral, to a concert and I can imagine what a wonderful evening you had. But on top of that, no cooking and driving. Heavenly! I’m really enjoying this link. I think I’ll leave it on a bit longer…

Beautiful ~ I don’t think there is anything more soul filling than listening to music in such a an amazing setting. I have come across a few occasions of choirs/organ in cathedrals and the experiences left such a feeling of peace.
What a lovely time you must have had with your friends.
Your walk to the pub, concert and cottage sounds just wonderful

I think it would be a fine thing to listen to music at St. David’s. I always feel the weight of the mysteries that are invested in cathedrals.

Great picture of the rose window. I love stained glass. The first song Elin was singing is one I know. A great stone cathedral is the perfect place for that kind of music — tremendous acoustics.
