Nottingham

At the beginning of this month, we popped down to Nottingham to visit the English relatives.
It was a nice weekend. We stayed at an Inkeepers Lodge. The price was nice, the room was nice, the location was good. The service was nice too. 2 gripes. The breakfast comes in a plastic bag, left outside the door. Orange juice...ok...chocolate muffin...not for me...plasticy croissant....uninspiring....small tub of cereal with long life milk....noooooooooo.
And you have to pay for internet. I found that surprising, given that so many places now offer free wi-fi.

It was nice to see the relatives, and we had a good time. We got to Mass at St Barnabas' Cathedral in Nottingham. It was a High Mass with latin hymns, and all carried out with dignity. I liked the fact that the Extraordinary Ministers wore a blue collar and wore suitable clothes. I dislike Extraordinary Ministers in jeans and t shirts. I do not think that to be appropriate or dignified.
