Thanks Stuey. Sadly not getting to Wales this trip. We are going to the National Computing museum at Bletchley Park to visit WITCH, which his nibs worked on at Uni, and to see the other old machines there. Seems an appropriate way to mark the end of his computing career. Lucky you Gwyn - I hope the weather treats you well whilst visiting our shores again

Then we're heading up to the Ely area for a couple of days, since neither of us has ever been there.

That is not acceptable behaviour on this thread.
Just back from a trip to Spain. Not all sunshine there, but warmer than here.

The miserichords are very interesting(if they now let people see them - you may need to chat up a verger), as are the roof bosses in the quad

The Cathedral is top of the list of must sees.
Wicken Fen is on the list too, but I'm not sure we'll get there.

Spot on, I'm always amazed they have survived some 700-800 years, given that Henry 8th and Cromwells men wrought havoc on the fabric of these building. And that also ignores woodworm and Victorian 'restorations' and WW2 bombing. there speaks a carver

Hmm, I thought we weren't allowed to talk about politics!

Gareth, that's English politics. Nothing to do with us
Bernard, it's my belief that Victorian 'restorers' were the biggest vandals.

I would tend to agree Ken, rapidly followed by the 'improvers' of the 50's&60's.
But then the Victorians were responsible for many of our favourite buildings (including north of the border). Didn't they also invent tartan

Well I think the silliness of tartan came from Sir Walter Scott and it has certainly pervaded Scottish culture for good and for bad. You are right too about the 50s & 60s.
