We had a nice dinner with Brian and Joan and Michael and his
daughter Ruby. Michael was our daughters good friend from Nottingham
in 1972. Here we are having a lunch at a pub the next day, one
day before we
were to fly back to BWI. |

The sanctuary interior. The organ is on the left wall of the
narrow Quire. |
|
Behind this vault is buried Edward Gibbon, author of "The
Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire". |

Another view of the wooden carving separating the Quire and the
rest of the sanctuary. |

We had planned to visit Down House which was where Darwin did all
his research in evolution. But it rained all day and trucking
through his garden in the rain did not appeal to us. Instead, we visited
FLETCHING PARISH CHURCH, seen above, to the left, and below. |
|
This organ may never been photographed like this. There was no
room for a proper single shot, so this is a stitch of two taken
across the narrow width of the Quire. |
|
And so, our three week event ends with this last picture of Brian,
Joan, myself and Elaine. The next day, we got up early to drive to
Heathrow. We checked in the car, and I placed my suitcase right in front
of the bumper scratch when the attendant inspected it. Thanks,
Brian, for the suggestion. |
