After our tour of the castle (and sadly, the gift shop closed at 3:15, ten minutes before I got back to it!) we decided to walk down The Steep Hill to the medieval and modern city below, So, down we went. It really is step - pictures just can't do it justice. Down at the bottom we walked along the River Witham (see photo of a tourist looking at a map), which is very narrow - rather more like the canal between the Altmuhl and the Danube in Kelheim. Then we went to Marks and Spencer and bought stuff for supper - tonight was a hotel room supper - bread, cheese, herring/aka mackeral, M&S salads, beer, wine, and cookies. Actually, it's rather nice not to have to go to a restaurant, and to relax with my shoes off! Here are a couple more pictures - Lincoln High Street at dusk, Myself carrying supper bags at the bottom of The Steep Hill, and some views taken toward the Cathedral from the walk up The Steep Hill. Now we're in our hotel, watching telly (Himself is watching a program about sight on BBC1), and I'm getting ready to knit. Tomorrow morning we're off to Cromer on the Norfolk coast - on the North Sea - a straight shot to the North Pole!
