Patchwork inspiration

 We spent a day in Durham where we met at the university. I find it hard to connect with the person I was then - more than fifty years ago.

I used to walk through the cathedral on my way to lectures crossing Prebends bridge, up the cliff and through a passage into the close and a  tunnel into the cloisters and Bede;s chapel where I would pause for a brief prayer before out through the main door onto Palace Green.

The tiles reminded me of patchwork shapes - I imagine they date from the Victorian age. You would have to be quite clever to draft some of these patterns.
