Saxon Cathedral

These are the ruins of an early Norman chapel that replaced a wooden building which was the cathedral in Saxon times. I had visions of quietly communing with Christians from 1000 years ago, but I'd reckoned without the 21st century lawn mower!

Afterwards, I went to some National Trust woods, and sat listening to the birds singing - except when they were being drowned out by the aircraft! It really is very difficult to escape the sounds of modern machinery.
