No Bears at Paddington

We have got an even tinier room at a Hotel close to Paddington Station - can't even fully open the bathroom door but you can fit inside the bathroom. However the bed seems comfortable!  It will be nice to get back to our Marburg apartment tomorrow despite how small and basic it is.

I hadn't realised how important the weaving industry was for historic Norwich until we visited the museum there.  It was once famous for beautiful Jaquard type weaving (the Jacquard loom was invented here) and for beautifully woven shawls.

The 11th century cathedral with its Norman tower (second highest in England) is also impressive and had a lovely display of Egyptian appliqué quilting.

The day finished with a beef and ale pie at the "Pride of Paddington" Pub.
