Thank you everyone for your good wishes for our anniversary yesterday (and cards, messages and gifts).
As I said, we had a couple of days away in Lincoln. Took us about 2.5 hours but was worth it. Had a fab hotel just outside the centre in its own ground, very tranquil and excellent. Very relaxing.
We did the Castle and Cathedral visits yesterday. Parked fairly near but couldnt believe how steep the hill was even from there. It is very touristy but very dickensian and quaint and well maintained. Climbed to the turret of the castle which scared me to death and couldnt look over the edge (have photo to prove it):o.
When we entered the Cathedral there was a notice saying part of it was closed for a funeral (apparently she was either in the choir or worked in the church). The choir was amazing just hearing that singing was very moving. We walked down the side of this chapel and I lit a candle in memory of my dad. Then we were told we couldnt walk back as the coffin was being brought out.... just sitting there and watching brought back memories) and i couldnt hold back the tears. There was a few musicians playing also.
Then we walked down the very steep hill into the town to find somewhere for lunch... and somehow I managed to fall up some steps! Thankfully nothing broken or bruised.. just my pride.:o Walked back up hill to Cathedral and had our lunch there.
So Steppers, had I got a pedometer with me, i would have racked up a few miles I reckon! My legs ache today.
Now back home butwas lovely to get away from it all and enjoy our time together. ;)
