An update: Facebook

I seem to remember you posting about a stained glass window jo anne. Was it the one from blue coats school? I cant remember

Yes, I did once mention the stained glass window in the Bluecoats School building, Lolly, it’s of The Good Samaritan. I used to admire it when I saw it in the interval of the Acoustic Roots gigs which used to be held in the parish church. (They were fantastic!)
