Continuing with my A to Z challenge of places I have been, where else but the UK for U as it is where I was born and lived for 30 years!
My featured image is of Mepal, a very cold winter’s sunset.
Starting off with Liverpool which is in the North of England. We did only manage one night there, because as usual on our trips back to the UK it was all about catching up with friends and relatives.

Looks enormous! just the angle

There is a very interesting history on the link above about the cathedral, founded by St. Etheldreda
Travelling to Essex, my hometown
A cute little seaside town, full of pubs, cafes, craft and gift shops
Maldon, Essex
The second oldest town in England and famous for its sea salt. Full of colourful barges and pubs along the estuary, it’s a great place to while away an afternoon.

very colorful ferry! 🙂
Yes very, we never got the chance to go on one though
Some fabulous photos of old english pubs here. And those cathedrals are just amazing aren’t they? No wonder the parishioner were in awe of religion in days gone by.
Thanks for your comments ..I was thinking along the same lines that it would have cost a fortune to build and so many starving peasants around 🤔
I think it was only possible to build these hideously expensive structures back then when the churches and the elite were excessively wealthy.
Glad I didn’t live then 😄
I think the same. It would have been a miserable life. Loads of peasants and very few elite, so I feel sure I would have been a peasant.
Haha me too
