The cathedral site is almost 1,000 years old as it was one of the few abbeys spared by Henry VIII who decided it should be a church and a school.

I've created some calendars to help raise money for God's Little People who arranged Filipos' adoption.
They badly need funds and £5, ie all the profit from the calendars will be sent to help them.
I'd appreciate it if you could share this post and tell any friends who might be interested.

I found Filipos like this on the landing the other night when I went to the bathroom. I'd left a dress, a towel and a cardigan on the bannister rail. Filipos pulled them all down and made a bed with them. I was thinking
