What is going on with that statue behind the big oak table?

I don't know which of the pictures you are referring to from the article. Are you asking about the fellow hanging from the wall or the man and woman with some green tarnish?

The table is super cool, and it was interesting to learn more about the Fens and bog oak, but I'm a little perturbed that they have a statue of a woman giving a guy a standy there in the cathedral.

Eye colors are often much more complex than the simple 'blue' 'brown' descriptors we give them. 'Hazel' is often the word we use when it is just too complex (and interesting) to describe with a single word.

My eyes appear to be an entirely different color depending on the lighting and which direction you are looking at them. I just tell people they are green because I like that color better, but they get confused if they happen to look blue that day.

Annon, at https://wheatandtares.org/2016/08/18/ely-a-cathedral-for-women/
they explain the statue... "In the south transept of the cathedral is a modern sculpture, also by David Wynne, of the events described in John 20:11-17, depicting the encounter of Mary Magdalene with Jesus following His resurrection."

If you convince your employer your job can be done remotely from your home, how long before he realizes it can also be done from Korea, India, China, etc.
Be careful what you wish for.
They already exported millions of blue collar jobs to make themselves richer, don't help them export office jobs too.
