I happen to love mint. <BR/><BR/>That cathedral reminds me of the one in Vienna and there is one in Aachen too that sort of resembles it. Fantabulous architecture. People just don't bother anymore. Houses and buildings can be quite uninspiring. I'm talking about the everyday sort of buildings. Cement and slab. <BR/><BR/>Lovely pictures, feels like we have been with you. :)Shaykhspeara Sha'irahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833022453340893713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18927845.post-1161082074099195442006-10-17T12:47:00.000+02:002006-10-17T12:47:00.000+02:00Yes, superb/interesting pics as usual.

I imagine it will be the work of decades to restore all the stonework to its natural colour, but it will surely be worth it. Rather you than me on the heights! <BR/><BR/>Have you read Edward (I think) Rutherfurd's Sarum? I think you'd appreciate it after this visit. It begins in prehistory and ends between the two World Wars, I think (not so satisfactory in the final chapters), incorporating my favourite prehistoric artefact, and the building of Salisbury Cathedral into the story. <BR/><BR/>In fact he had it published as a fund-raiser for the cathedral preservation fund. It's written with affection and great knowledge, and I found it absorbing. <BR/><BR/>Good luck to J on her Dubai trip.
