Last Day of the Holiday

Up early, did lots of washing then once it was pegged on the line, we went off to enjoy the sunshine in Norwich [after a trip to use Christine’s PC]

The view from the top of the carpark – the cathedral and other churches. They used to say the city has “A church for every Sunday of the year and a pub for every other day” Don’t know if that’s still true.

We walked up through the market to St Peter Mancroft.

In 1978, we went into H Samuel opposite and bought a diamond ring, then went and sat in the church together, and Bob put the engagement ring on my finger where it has been ever since.

Outside is a statue of Sir Thomas Browne, the scientist and philosopher – with stranger sculptures of a brain, and the names of all his books…

Bob – my very brainy Top man!

We listened to a great busker playing “Moon River”

The Maddermarket Theatre is a great building, near where Will Kemp,the Tudor Actor began his famous Morris Dance to London in 1600 [why would anybody do that?]

And we came home in the afternoon – the washing was dry and we sat outside for a cuppa

A very satisfactory end to a wonderful week. We both feel really rested and grateful for the chance to switch off and relax together.

Saturday will be back to work…
