In worsening traffic, radiating out from London, we drove on to Winchester, a beautiful, ancient town--the capital of Saxon England--which has one of our favorite cathedrals. Also a car-park with camper spaces near the old city...a few pounds and relative quiet. We spent the next day in the old part of town, mostly pedestrianized, enjoying the sights and the shopping, and then the great cathedral.

Vicki describes this style of building--of which we'll see far more in the East of
England--as "Fred and Wilma" (Flintstone) |

| The historical signage is great: a self-regarding place |
