A very random one today. This necklace was a gift from a good friend from London days. The edges are too sharp for it to be comfortable against the skin, but I have it hanging on a bookshelf and think it looks rather good there. It also reminds me of my friend, so makes me smile :)

We were in Chester this past weekend, the reason we were there was because yesterday evening derf was being ordained a Presbyter in the Methodist Church at Chester Cathedral. It was a lovely service, and I am not ashamed to say I shed a tear or two. It was also lovely to catch up with a few friends (including Tractor Girl, it's been over a year since we met up which is far too long). It was a 'ridiculous to the sublime' kind of day - we spent most of the day at Chester Zoo, before going on to the ordination, then back up the road for the long old drive back home. Well worth it though, what a privilege to be there to share in derf's day.

Chester is a very sweet little city, and it is easy to see the sights in a day. In the morning we walked along the canal path, where I took this - I think it just looks quintessentially idyllic English countryside. At lunchtime we did a river cruise, and in the afternoon we had a bit more of a wander and went to the Grosvenor museum, then in the evening before dinner we walked round the entire length of the old city walls. What a lovely place.
