Large Organs...and Lutestrings!

Well, it has to be one of the biggest I've ever
seen - as the actress said to the Bishop, no pun intended! As any church organ buff will attest
they don't come any finer than this. This fine organ is to be found in the beautiful Cathedral
in the historic Medway town of Rochester. I've seen a few good ones in my time but my fancy was well tickled by the sight of this heavenly vision. Too bad we couldn't stick around to hear it being played. OK, I know this is a different side of the MM that he has tried to hide but I thought it was time to come out into the open and confess that I do like the odd large organ! There I've said it and can now get on with my life...
The Catherdral itself is very grand and beautiful. I've been to Canterbury Cathedral many times so am well-versed in the sights and sounds of the big Cathedrals. Nonetheless I was impressed. The front entrance with the magnificent stained glass window above is truely awe-inspiring. The MM is not a religious man - I only pray to the moth gods - but he does like the odd church or two. Maybe I'll start an occasional feature in these pages called "church-watch". Any comments?

And, where would we be without a moth? I'll tell you - nowhere! Above is a very striking late-flying moth called Oak Lutestring - a brilliant name don't you think. My friend Phil caught this one in his back yard in Ramsgate. It is quite rare on Thanet because there are no Oak woods here so I was lucky to see it.

I'm rather partial to the 'odd' large organ myself...but what has this to do with moths...???
