Day 2 ... The York Minster was on memorable place.
I loved this place. I remember standing next to a scale model of it where a blind man was looking at it, reading the braille with his dog at his feet and his health worker by his side, and he turned to me, 'Excuse me.'
I turned, 'Who me?'
'Yes... you're to my left.'
'Sorry.'
'It says here, that the ceilings of this place are over 250 feet high... you can see, right?' he said.
I looked around the place, 'Yes I can.'
'That's a miss-print, isn't it? They can't be that high.'
I remember looking up and turning back to him, 'You can bet your Grandma's panties they are.'
'Holy ****!' he went back to looking at the model and reading the braille.
I'll never forget that conversation... and it was 20 years ago.
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
