Peterborough lunch - NOT amateur radio

This was me having a snack lunch in Peterborough yesterday. 

Peterborough - NOT amateur radio

Today we went on the train from Ely to Peterborough.  This is a nice day out. The train takes about 35 minutes. Peterborough has a fine cathedral with some famous royal burials. Mary, Queen of Scots is buried there and Katherine of Aragon was buried there before being moved.

Medieval graves - NOT amateur radio

Earlier this week we went to Peterborough Cathedral. Around the back were several medieval graves as the photo shows. These were unearthed when some restoration work was being carried out.

Outside Peterborough Cathedral - NOT amateur radio

 

The photo shows my wife and I outside Peterborough Cathedral earlier today. Later it rained. Our good old friend Peter drove us up there.

Globe - NOT amateur radio

At the moment there is an exhibition on inside Peterborough Cathedral called "Gaia". The centre piece in the nave is a 7m diameter globe of the Earth (see photo). It is very impressive and free in the daylight hours.  They charge in the evenings when there is music and the globe is illuminated.
