 I did my teaching practice at the high school in Ely, that strange cathederal city in the middle of the fens. I then did an art residency at the school which meant going into the cathederal sketching for a couple of weeks then using the school facilities to make art. A very peaceful and fortunate time. I haven't been back in over a decade and find that now the rennovation of that imposing, grey place is magnificently complete. We went in on a splendid, sunny day between Christmas and New Year and the interior glowed.
