    Our Last Day In Chester

    May 14, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Suzie - It's our last day in this beautiful Roman-walled city.

    We walked around and went to Evensong at the Cathedral which began as a Benedictine monastery in 1093, by the first Earl of Chester, Hugh Lupus.

    It was my first Evensong and it was absolutely beautiful 💜

    Nik - Quite tired today but no wonder considering we didn't get to bed til 2:30 this morning.

    A quiet day for our last day in Chester. It was very much needed. Visited some more shops then explored the Cathedral. Built by Benedictine monks in 1093 but the side was used as a place of worship by the Saxons before this. Stunning gardens and stainglass windows. It is a very peaceful place.

    I've been reflecting on Eurovision as we wondered today. I could not have hoped for a better experience. Being able to share the joy of it with others who understand it has blown me away. The locals who have been so welcoming and genuinely amazed that we traveled all the way from Australia...as they put it...'just for Eurovision.'

    Seriously. Pfft.

    'Just for Eurovision?' My friends. EUROVISION IS LIFE!
