At 8:30, Malcolm and Margarette came to the Robinson College. Visited the Chapel together. Drove to Ely by Malcolm's car. In the front of Ely Cathedral, met Rob and Sylvia Fair who came to join us, driving the long way from Warwick.
At the Ely Cathedral, first ushered to the museum located at the flight of fifty stairs. Received comments on the stained glass windows, viz. the one which defected the start for the pilgrimages to Canterbury, from the Nitori's Otaru Stained Glass Museum. Then, guided to the museum's collections and the interior of the cathedral.
Took a lunch at a pub within the Cambridge town with Rob and Sylvia and Malcolm and Margaret (I took the bill to pay). Unfortunately, Miss Jasmine Allen was unable to participate. After lunch, Bob and Sylvia went on their own way. Malcolm and Margaret in turn drove me to the Brook Red Lion, Colchester.
Us, in front of the alter in the Chapel. In the behind was the famous stained grass by John Piper.
