Beverley trip

Was late to get up today and not overly inclined to get active. Did make a start on some household chores and then Tina suggested I go along for a trip to Beverley with her and Darren. She had vouchers for us to have a meal at Pizza Express and then they were going to the cinema and I could have a wander round Beverley and meet them later, or catch the bus home if I had done enough wandering. Had a lovely meal and then I went across to St Mary's church when they set off to see the film.

A lovely church and a thoroughly charming man doing the greeting and telling me about the church. I will put a selection from inside, no explanation needed really except the amazing ceiling in the chancel depicts early kings.

The do have a table with a mirror on so that you can look at the ceiling without straining your neck too much. He told me about the hare with a pilgrim's staff and scrip in St Michael's chapel and the fact that it was the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's white rabbit.

The sun was out when I left so the church looked great.

I walked right through the town and thought I would go and see the minster as well passing Monks Walk on the way.

A couple of pictures of the outside of the minster, they had run out of photography passes so that will be on another day for inside pictures.

I had a sit down and coffee and cake and then made my way back through the town. Just liked this street name, no other reason.

I went to the bus station and sat on the bench and decided to check my phone. The bus came in and I got on, settled down, then realised I had left my shopping on the bench!! Rushed down, told the driver I had to get off as I had left a bag, he let me out and left!! Got the bag but had an hour to wait for the next bus, oops. So I went for another wander and found this lovely little Coronation garden.

Really must go to Beverley on the bus and take a sketchpad along. Interestingly there were gravestones along the wall at either side of the garden. Saw this really unusual plant.

Just a quick picture of the sky before I left to make a second attempt at getting a bus home!

 Had a couple of hours indoors before I went to the concert at the URC. The cellist was absolutely brilliant, the pianist was very good but I didn't care for the pieces he chose to play as solos. But a very nice evening and I won a prize in the raffle!
