Passing The Time

Alice's contractions have stopped; she's seeing a doctor this morning. She signs off her latest message with "don't worry, be happy"- which is what we'll try and do.

We hung around Leicester yesterday morning but we didn't seem to be achieving anything so we came home. Leicester (btw) has an excellent museum and art gallery containing (among other things) a locally sourced plesiosaur known as The Barrow Kipper, a room full of Picasso ceramics donated by Lord and Lady Attenborough and an unlikely collection of early 20th century German art. 

Romanesque Tympanum- Stoney Stanton, Leicestershire

St Michael's,Stoney Stanton has been rebuilt and restored, but this Romanesque tympanum was retained and placed above what I take to be a vestry door. One source identifies the subject as St Wilfred, accompanied by the lion of the gospel, subduing the wild beasts of paganism.
