MY PARENT'S VISIT
After a hard week of studying and writing workshop files about lining and varnish removal my parents finally came to Newcastle to visit me and have a look around the city in which I'm living right now!
I think they liked it quite a lot... .
On their first day they got a chance to have a look around in Burt Hall – the university building in which the conservation studios are. I showed them around and they even got a glance to see “my” painting (on which I’m working at right now).

DURHAM
On Saturday my parents and I went to Durham. Durham is a small city near Newcastle which is well known for its Norman Cathedral and Castle.
The city can be traced back to 995 AD. Monks from Lindisfarne chose this place to settle down the body of St. Cuthbert. The present Cathedral was built from 1093 and the remains of St. Cuthbert still remain there. The cathedral is regarded by many travellers as “the finest cathedral in the world”...

And - as you can see on my pictures below... Durham is really very very impressive!
...me and the sanctuary knocker...
...the castle...
... on our drive home we saw "The angle of the north"...
