What a treat!

I was about to leave the castle, and asssumed that the note that St. George's Chapel was closed, since it was Sunday, was accurate. Just for grins, I walked up to the door and it said
"Open for worshippers only - evensong service at 515 PM".

So, I went into town, had some fish and chips and a beer and came back for the evensong service. The choir consisted of 12 men and 12 boys sat facing each other and most of the people were off to the sides.

There were about 15 of us who got to sit right behind the men, look over their shoulders and hear the beautiful harmony. Some with pipe organ accompaniment and some a cappella - just marvelous.

What a treat!
