February Frolics

 Our friends from Portsmouth joined us for lunch in early February. Unfortunately Sybil couldn’t make it because she was having a hip operation that day. She is making good progress.

The new font in Salisbury Cathedral is quite a work of art. It was designed by William Pye and was first used on 28th September 2012. The font itself holds 1300 litres of water.

We had two visits to Salisbury in the space of 8 days. On the first the weather was awful and so we spent most of our time in the Cathedral. The second time the weather was sunny, but chilly, so I managed some outside photos.
