Salisbury
The jouney took place on the same day as the World Cup Match between England and Portugal. Despite taking refuge within the Cathedral for evensong while the game was in play, the Curate felt it necessary to inform those present that Mr Rooney had been sent off and that the match was going to be put into some extra time. About the same time as the English side bowed out of the tounament, and during one musical refrain, one of the young choristers dropped to the floor and did not get up for the remainder of the service.
The day was puctuated with the usual details: argumentative customers in the charity shops haggling down prices; adolescent drinking in public parks; crying children; visits to the usual shop chains; the trying of locked church doors; the watching of telivision from out of the windows of electronic stores; the occasional tying of shoelaces; the application of lip balm; the examination of cafe menus; the reading of book dust covers and the judging of book by thier covers; the searching of pockets for train tickets; the entering of pin-numbers into payment card readers; the carrying of plastic bags; the application of a handful of water to one's head of hair; the thinking of home; the looking at the time; and the returning to home.
The parish church of Saint Thomas and Saint Edmund, Salisbury, has one of the best surviving Doom portraits (medieval wall painting) in England.
Reading material given away but there is a moratorium on the donation of milk bottle tops.
A dog with what appears to be a David Bellamy book in the foreground.
Street scene with telephone boxes and supporters of the football.
A Fish shop since 1917.
Dozens of carved statues of kings, saints, prophets and angels on the front of Salisbury cathedral.
This 'lunar disc', what looks like a massive communion wafer, of onyx, was made by Emily Young, whose memorial (the face of an angel, below) for those who died when bombs went off in London on 7 July 2005, is in the churchyard of Saint Pancras church near Euston Station in London. This disc was surrounded by a rather feeble run of red and white tape, presumbaly to prevent someone leaning on it and knocking it over.
