Within the Cathedral Close, apart from Ted Heaths old house; nearly every house is owned by wealthy crooks who can afford the best accountants and lawyers to escape the law.

I'm taking the kids to the circus tomorrow, they are very excited. (no animals involved apart from one horse and a dog).

I enjoyed it last year.

It is best to go in the summer. We went in the winter months but there was slush on the ground, so we turned around and got the train to London. We were only there for 1 hour. It is a shame because I was excited to see the 123m spire at Salisbury Cathedral.

Lincoln Cathedral's spire used to be higher, and for centuries it was the tallest building in the World.

Then one day in the 1820s a large crack appeared in the nave wall below the spire, almost visibly widening, and loud groaning noises were heard echoing through the cathedral.

Somehow, feck knows how, the dean or bishop immediately persuaded a load of workmen to swarm up the spire and start demolishing it, which they did at breakneck speed in a day or two.

So now, alas, Lincoln cathedral no longer has its spire, although it still has its tall towers.

Last time I was in Lincoln I missed the roof tour, which after all the way I'd come was most vexing!

Bike Ride with the kids whilst the weather still ok.
And watching my sons footy team in between a couple of premier league games on TV.
Not too inspiring.
