Before I left to get the 2 buses to Alton, neighbour/old friend whom I haven't spoken with in many moons rang the doorbell to present me with a pot of tulips. The variety? Catherine.
Put them in the bag with flowers and headed off. Changed bus in Hanley. Too late fir direct Alton bus so just took it as far as Cheadle. Went into church while waiting (90 mins) for next bus. Caught the last part of mass. Spent quite awhile meditating and crying. Priest prayed with me afterwards.
Listened in on the first part of the tour of the church. It's a famous and beautiful building filled with scripture and symbolism by architect Pugin.

You. can't quite see it here, but there's still abig painting of Jesus, etc. The guide said on the bottom left the daughter of the Earl of Shrewsbury (who paid for the church) , who died young, is in the picture. Yes, all parents want to memorialise their children...
