The sun brings the crowds to town. I popped to the shops for a few things and it was so busy I couldn't think. I almost collided with a few people and some were walking so slowly they were almost standing still! So, I escaped to the Arts Centre with my books....
It's a converted church that plays host to fabulous local musicians and art exhibitions. It's a great place to go to chill out on a sunny day.
I knew the Cathedral grounds would be just as busy and this place is only a few hundred yards from my flat but I never venture to it. It's so nice and quiet and makes you forget that you are in a city as it's away from the hustle and bustle.
The above building is a council office, newly built around a year or so ago. The Arts Centre is to the right of this building and to the left is a beautiful park know as the Green Croft (below).
It's not very big but it's full large shady chestnut trees and lots of places to hide. Every now and then you find an ancient stone epitaph whose owner's name is lost to time. It's quite a magical place really.
I searched for a few shiny conkers too!
