I've received a few messages asking to continue the 1000 words thread. It has obviously given many people pleasure and some positivity. For anyone who doesn't know, posters come on with their photographs of pretty much anything and we take it from there. Nature is always a good one.
We had a glorious sunset last night but I couldn't photograph it as I was at choir practice and could only enjoy the bright red sky through the church windows - doubly glorious.
I had to go into Speyer this morning. It's our nearest big town and I love it. Have lived in the area since I came to Germany. I used to work there and driving in in the mornings would take my breath away with the sun shining on the historic spires and medieval buildings.
Today was a perfect September day and I was in tears at the sight of it because I haven't been since the start of the pandemic.
And then being able to sing on top of all that! I was helping out the choir at the church music school I used to attend as they are preparing for conducting exams.
I took this picture of the Cathedral. About half an hour later the sun would have been round the front but I had to get home - singing makes you hungry!
The view from Chelsea Bridge with Albert Bridge in the distance; and a rather atmospheric view in the other direction of a brooding Battersea Power Station.
