Winchester.

I stopped on the way in a lovely village to look around the church yard.  I thought it was beautiful.  There was a lovely wasps hole:

And what has to be the most colourful grave I have ever seen:

I stopped for a while to enjoy the peace:

Then I went onto Winchester Cathedral. It wasn’t my favourite cathedral, it felt pompous, soulless and “superior”.  Not nearly so homely and welcoming as the nearby Salisbury Cathedral. Jane Austin is buried in Winchester Cathedral.  The cathedral, despite what I said, is stunning:

but I will remember it for its Angels – they were stunning:

While I was there I lit a candle for Ian. He was on life support over the weekend, improved a bit but has a long way to go if he recovers.
