This
morning we visited the York Minister, a magnificent Gothic cathedral (consecrated
in 1472) which stands on the site of an Ancient Roman Basilica; the remains of
which can still be seen today. The cathedral is a masterpiece in stained-glass
and stone.
I
am always amazed at how much time was devoted to producing the masterpieces we see all over Europe and
in terms of early civilizations like the Vikings, how painstakingly time
consuming the production of simple everyday goods such as shoes, pots and other
essentials was….No mass production line here! How different things are today.
A young mother staying in the same hostel in
Bath has just commented on the boys’ good manners: “They have such good
manners; they have just held the door open for me three times!” …Good to know
the boys are representing the school well!
