Yesterday, we took our first tube ride and went from Camden station to St. Paul's Cathedral. Wonderful audio guided tour. I don't see how some one designs such a remarkable, magnificent structure much less builds it without the use of cranes, earth moving equipment, and power tools. Awesomely beautiful. Princess Diana and Prince Charles were married there. We stayed for Evensong. Inspiring.
Afterwards, we had dinner at a French restaurant nearby and walked in the rain to the next tube station, stopping along the way to have some port. We need one more umbrella.
A cat followed us in to the flat, strolled the back garden, and ate some canned tuna Ralph gave him/her. Big fluffy black and white cat. A blessing.
Charming. What is the cat' name?

ReplyDeleteSt. Paul's is one of the places I was to Lenard more about. I remember being at a "small" city in Germany ( it had a criminal museum) and going into one of the oldest/largest cathedrals there - I was speechless looking up! How was it possible? The pyramids almost looked simple compared with the timeless adornments and architecture of that blessed place! I had not remembered that experience in many, many years - thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteBoy, I may need to go back to the laptop and forget the iPad and stylus! The typos scream out when I see them. But you do know what I'm trying to say . . . Right?
ReplyDeleteI think Camden would be a very good name for a cat - here, but you'll have to come up with possibly a few names on your own. Does seem like it would be comforting to have "someone" familiar as you arrive at home each evening!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the photos immensely! Art thou the photographer, Ruth? Ohhh,it hurt to read that Ralph had accidentally deleted his work! There should be a device that prevents that from happening!
ReplyDeleteI am really mystified by how someone can design something so complex and wonderful as a cathedral I simply don't fathom it. I'm glad I reminded you of that experience.
