Glad to hear it! I've got somebody to work with me now, and we're both good at multi-tasking - so we can chat as we work! So no need for radio...

what a lovely place to go to work paladin and the stained glass window is fabulous, is it all your own work or is it just part of the window you are replacing. just stunning :D :D

According to a recent survey the glass is 15th century and was brought over from France.I replaced two lower panes and cleaned all of the other glass panels. The place is N.Trust and open to the public , the chapel is to be used as a visitor information centre.

I'm seriously jealous! We never get a glimpse of outside all day where I work. The only time we can check up on the weather is when we take the patients out into the corridor to hand over the the ward nurse - there's windows there! Otherwise we spend the entire day in artificial light!
