From the train it is an easy walk to the Cathedral. The bridge over the hightway from the station to the town lead us to the ancient city wall. We walked along the wall for a bit and came down at a likely spot that looked like it would lead to the cathedral. We walked pass a Tesco grocery store and other "high street" shops finally leading into the older part of town full of quaint looking store fronts. We turned down St. Margaret's street and decided to try Tiny Tim's tea shop for lunch. It turned out to be a good choice. T had a "puffkin" which is meat loaf baked in dough and served with baked beans. I was able to have their afternoon tea for lunch--perfect. The service was really good and we enjoyed the food. The restrooms were up two flights of ancient stairs next to the ghost's room. It was a fun little place.
Tiny Tim's gave us a good map to the Cathedral and we walked there easily. It was a beautiful day and we got some great shots of the Cathedral with blue skies and puffy clouds and scaffolding! Oh well, it only covered a portion of the outside. It was very interesting to visit and so beautiful. As we were leaving there was a display that mentioned aspects of Cathedral life including the cathedral cats! Unfortunately we did not get to see any of them but we learned one is named Leo (MP!) and another Tom.
We began to head back to the train and passed Debenhams. In the Sunday paper was an ad for some gold trimmed goblets so we went in and they had them. I bought two to mix in with the other goblets I have at home. Surprise--they were even on sale.
Train, tube and walk back to the apartment where we had a light dinner and did some more laundry. The machine is so bad that T's shirts all came out really wrinkled. At least there is an iron and ironing board.
