| Early morning view of the Minster from the city wall close to the station |
It was sunny today although the wind cooled things down a bit.
We have only just noticed Lady Pecket's Yard which is right across the street. It is a delightful alley way which contains a coatwainer which is a craftsman who makes high quality shoes as opposed to a cobbler who repairs shoes.

| The Coatwainer is on the left. |
The Guildhall of the Company of Merchant Adventurers was open today at a cheap rate because there was an antiques fair in progress. The building is very old indeed and the great hall was impressive as was the chapel.

The Red Lion provided a very good dark mild and we were surprised that we were the only people in there.

| The dark mild had a flavor of molasses |
Lunch was a good carvery with roast beef, pork and Yorkshire pudding with lots of good vegetables.

| The west side of the Minster is beautiful in the evening light |
