We really slept last night; I got up about 10 am and Norm about 11
am! Where did that come from?
Grace and Paul took us through downtown Chester-le-Street and then over
to St. Mary and St. Cuthbert church where a woman arrived directly behind us to
open the door. She then gave us a lot of
the history of the church and showed us the replica of the first translation of
the four gospels into English which happened here in the 7th
century. Three of Norm's cousins have been married in this church.
She then offered us the opportunity to ring the church bell which Paul
and Norm took her up on. What fun!!
We then had a lovely walk along the river called the Durham Cathedral
Riverbanks which ended at Durham Cathedral and we went through some of the Cathedral. By about 3:30, we were getting cranky because
of the heat so decided to go home and sit in the garden (in the shade).
Sending love R/P
