Lady W was a bit tired when she wrote the last blog. If it doesn't make too much sense thats because several subjects are discussed simultaneously and in no particular order. However suffice to say we have had a lovely time and enjoyed catching up with old friends. Have now seen three Cathedrals, Salisbury (magnificent), Winchester (v. nice) and Chichester (lovely mix of old and young). Salisbury was beautiful in the late afternoon sun and a service was just finishing. Heard the huge pipe organ in full throttle. Chichester had lots of interesting stuff - Gustav Holst was buried there for example. Also a famous poem by Philip Larkin inspired by a particular tomb. We also visited the church in Bosham (pronounced Bossam) which features in the Bayeaux tapestry. King Harold prayed there before being beaten by the Normans. Part of it is Saxon from 1050 odd. Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire are lovely places.
I'm afraid to say Lady W didn't like Florence much. She has decided there are three types of people at airports, annoying, nasty and bitches. Annoying represents the whole human race, while nasty is anyone in the airport and bitches involves anyone in front of us in a queue.
More tomorrow.
