187 Saturday 19th August 2023 Carlisle
This trip was again a consequence of us having a weekend away at Green View Lodges, Welton. Simon and I decided to go into Carlisle on the Saturday. We parked up near the castle.
We walked across the footbridge linking the castle to the town which gave a good view over towards the cathedral.
It was quite breezy on the bridge.
We decided to look round the Cathedral.
We admired the painted panels which I didn't remember from a previous visit.
We visited the Treasury to see the ecclesiastical valuables of the diocese.
I can't actually remember what was going on here apart from Simon finding his usual excuse to sit down.
After the Cathedral we went to the Market Hall where I bought a new watch strap. We then went to a record shop where3 Simon bought a vinyl copy of Stereophonics' debut LP.
We then had lunch at a chip shop cafe.
After lunch we went in the Tullie House Museum. We viewed the skeleton of a VBronze age man.
Simon sat down in a replica railway carriage.
We were impressed by a whale skeleton.
There was a good view of the castle from the top floor.
We then returned to our lodge for tea.
