Winchester - Cathedral and town.

We decided to stay around Winchester as we had such a lot of driving yesterday.
Lovely later full breakfast served by Chris. It was the best so far and cooked with care not volume. She is an interesting lady who has travelled widely - particularly to developing countries. The decor in her home reflected this.
Went in to Winchester via the Park and Ride. We walked towards the Cathedral. On the way we passed an archeological dig site. This was the site of Nunnaminster, forerunner of the present Cathedral, dating back to 903.
At the Cathedral, we found they were holding a celebration of flowers and they had stalls in a marquee. Bought a lovely pink scarf and John chatted to a lady who was sent to Australia during the second world war. She went to MCEGS or Merton Hall and was delighted to find someone who could relate to her life.
Window shopped and had cup of tea and half an eccles cake, which was served with the most sensational chocolate each.
Then off to Andover to find something for Simon at a specialist hunting shop. This shop had closed some years ago! Ended up buying magazines and hope we find something later.
Back to Winchester after taking a wrong turn going out of the Andover. We bought Peter Roberts some Guinness socks, a blue jumper for me and two small cushions with deer pictures on them.Read more
