Thursday 26th
After a couple of failed attempts to get in to see
Gaia, daughter & I managed it last night
Wow!
It's a decent size (7 metre diametre), oddly, no cities could be seen
In a way, it would have been more interesting inverted, so we could see the northern hemisphere
Apparantly, 1sq cm of this, equates to 18sqkm of the Earth
Plus, if it was viable, standing 211m away from the artwork, you would see the Earth as it appears from the moon.
Daughter was happy enough, as there were some of the staff there who she knew from her time as Chorister; The Dean, the Director of Music, & one of the Vergers
Thus, she spent the time talking, as I walked around
I was going to ask for access to the Tower, but maybe another time?
I think my gaining access would have been noticed, & others would also ask to ascend
I've had a few visits, & have even been inside the Spire (it's actually stone!, & like looking up a tapering chimney)
