Lichfield - NOT amateur radio

This is where my brother-in-law lives. It is classed as a city but feels more like a town. It has a fine cathedral and mill pond. 

Lichfield - NOT amateur radio

My brother-in-law lives in Lichfield and it is just a short walk from his home into Lichfield along side Stowe Pool.  Lichfield, Staffordshire is not too far north of Birmingham. Lichfield is a delightful place.

Away so nothing yesterday - NOT amateur radio

We were in Lichfield for my brother-in-law's 70th birthday party, so I was not able to update the blogs. It was a good family get-together. I guess it won't be too long before some of us meet for funerals! It will be some years before there is a round of grandchildren's weddings. For some of these we may be around, but it is unlikely we'll see them all get married. Still, this is how it has always been since time began.

Lichfield is a small city to the north of Birmingham. It has a very nice cathedral with three spires. Unusually, the cathedral is made in red sandstone. It has some fine carvings over the entrance. Lichfield itself is charming with many fine old buildings and a pedestrianised centre. There are 2 large lakes near the cathedral. I guess at one time these were stocked with fish for monks nearby?
