However I did go into the cathedral instead. I've only been in there for school carol concerts recently so it was lovely to wander around in the stillness and absorb the beauty of it all as well as to see the dedication stone to Richard in the chancel which was decorated with white carnations. So maybe I'll try the exhibition again next week - someone told me that morning time is best.Alex Gutteridge writes...http://www.blogger.com/profile/01286484609686074469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903952577150108212.post-584941369769219862013-02-19T04:24:24.232-08:002013-02-19T04:24:24.232-08:00I don't think you have to wait too long Ros......I don't think you have to wait too long Ros...visitors are in and out in about 20 minutes....go, you know you know you want to!thinking of the dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04369739724991129358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903952577150108212.post-2834453801516170082013-02-19T03:33:44.105-08:002013-02-19T03:33:44.105-08:00It will come as no surprise that I'm for Leice...It will come as no surprise that I'm for Leicester too!
