Dinosaurs in Norwich!

As you may recall, Linda is one of the volunteers at Norwich Cathedral's exhibition of the Natural History Museum's famous Diplodocus skeleton. After an early breakfast, we joined a small queue so that I could enjoy renewing acquaintances with one of the earliest memories of my childhood: I must have only been four or five the first time I encountered 'Dippy' at South Kensington. (Incidentally: the name 'Diplodocus' means 'two beams'. and is a reference to the pairs of stiffening rods under the caudal vertebrae.)

To coincide with the exhibition, Norwich has installed twenty or so very life-like Tyrannosaur sculptures around the city, each decorated by a local artist. Today we viewed over half of them: pictures tomorrow!
