Leaving Nottingham

Reluctantly.  Though I always look forward to going home. 
One of the things I’ve noticed in this city is the incredible quantity and quality of detail on the older buildings.  I don’t think I’ve been anywhere before where you see so much if you look up. 
If you look at these: the brickwork, stonework, lead on the windows, the metal work, little towers and turrets, the window designs,  and the actual shape of the skyline created. I thought it lovely, and a real tribute to Victorian artisans. 
If you look closely you will see an owl poised above  the window, or is it a cockatoo? The gryphon (is that  what is it? a lion with wings) has the indignity of being covered with anti-pigeon spikes. 
Now home, I’m going to need some time to catch up looking at everyone’s journals, as I haven’t had a spare moment while away:)
