Went to Winchester and looked round the cathedral. It's usually interesting to visit such places but often they are cold and lonely places. Yesterday was one of several days when Winchester cathedral hosts various school groups. All round the building were activity points with children being taught and being invovled in things, including dressing up as monks! This created a completely different atmosphere - the place was alive and felt welcoming and exciting. One of the stewards asked me if I had been able to see what I wanted to see with all the distractions. It was the 'distractions' that made the visit for me.
