A Norwich walk and lunch

Norwich Cathedral

Bishops Bridge

An enjoyable walk along the river yesterday with Monica, stopping to admire the old bridge and the cathedral.  We walked through the cathedral close to a restaurant for lunch where Monica was looking forward to trying the king prawn linguine again.    We ordered a small carafe of wine to keep us going , which was just as well as the food didn't arrive for 45 minutes.  We made representations at intervals and found the waitress had messed up the order.  When she asked us if there was anything she could get for us to compensate, we foolishly suggested more wine!  Having had too much wine I was unable to resist the chocolate dessert.  Oh dear!  And my walk home wasn't exactly a straight line.

View along Bishopsgate

An attraction at the cathedral is the peregrine falcons' nest.  They have had 4 chicks which have fledged but are still being fed by the parents.  The webcam is focused on the nest and I've only just got round to looking at it so now all I can see is the wind ruffling some discarded feathers.  Too late!  The cathedral close was rather cluttered with vans - a theatrical production in the cathedral cloisters.  Shakespeare I think.  So much going on in Norwich it's hard to keep up.
