This morning was sad, in that I had to farewell Auntie Kathy and thank her for a wonderful week. I have really enjoyed my time with her and Mum, and I wish that we could spend time together more often. She is a wonderful lady and I have got to know her so much over this past week. It was also sad to say goodbye to Mum, but it wasn't quite the same, as I know we will have so much more time together. We will, however see each other again in London for the day, as well as at Heathrow.
Once the ladies had departed after another wonderful breakfast, I got busy and moved my things into the bigger room which was occupied by Mum and Aunty Kathy. It is a terrific room with street views and you can see the spire of St. Giles, the Church in which Host Tony is the Vicar.
I very much enjoyed speaking with the boys who were finally back in civilization and could be reached via the airways. Lawrie was finally able to set up a Skype account for Dave and we had a long conversation with the boys all sharing the front seat of the car. It was declared that I have magical powers, as I was able to tell Mitch exactly where the Paw-Paw ointment was from halfway around the world!
I took a taxi into Newark, as the busses only run every 2 hours on a Sunday and I got tired of waiting at the bus stop. My first point of call was the Information Centre, which is right next to the castle. I was given a brochure on a walking tour of the town, which I began as soon as I had finished ordering copies of my photos onto CDs at Boots Chemist. I also had the photos from Uncle Stan and Auntie Valerie's 50th Wedding Anniversary party put on a Cd, which I need to post off to them.
The first port of call was one of the highlights of the day, as I discovered that it was designed by an architect who shares the same name of my brother, John.
There are many beautiful buildings here in Newark. This is the cathedral.
