Long drive from Mundford to see Joan’s
nursing pal in Guildford. On th way we availed ourselves of Ely’s cathedral.
Ely (actually the Isle of Ely) was originally
an island sitting in a swamp. The interior of the cathedral was one of the most
beautiful we have seen.

On to London then. We did the Dartford
Crossing of the Thames on the east side of the city. It was a good bridge, but
nearly as beautiful and impressive as the Humber bridge at Hull several days
earlier.
We had almost a full day with the friends,
very enjoyably spent. A walk up Guildford Hill gave, on the northern side,
distant views of significant features on the Horizon, including London (we
could make out the Shard) and Heathrow T5.
On the southern side of the hill was
a view of the beautiful North Downs.
Some nice orchids
