Watt A Chapel

Having dropped my other half in Guildford this morning at 7.15am, I had a few hours to kill as I was collecting a number of pictures that I've had framed at KD Fine Art. I bought a bottle of water and some shortbread and, with a loaded iPod and a copy of Emma, I headed to the Chapel through the lych gate. On the other side was a very old, very vocal and very friendly ginger and white cat who proceeded to ask me who I was, ask where his food-provider was, complain about the cold, and offer to accompany me up the hill if I would slow down a bit. (All in cat-lingo, of course. I mean, of course!)

So up we went, and as the Chapel was locked, I sat and listened to a number of podcasts whilst this ginger cat made free with my lap, fleece, shortbread corners and Volvic. After a while he decided he'd had enough of this and curled up nearby for a nap.



I continued to listen to various articles until the Watts Cat awoke and demanded more fuss. Partway into this, the chap turned up who unlocks the Chapel. Mog and I went to investigate. It is an amazing place. I thoroughly recommend a visit. The colours and the imagery and the sheer atmosphere are breathtaking. It's not the kind of thing that you would dream of finding a stone's throw away from the A3.



I then wandered down to where Watt's Gallery is after spending some time in the Chapel and collected my pictures. I would like to recommend KD Fine Art if you ever have any framing needs - Guy is an ace framer (he's won awards) and the knick-knack quality in their shop is very high!

All that remained was to have tea and toast and then get on with the rest of the day!
