a close up of the embroidery.
I met Lingyun and his wife earlier this summer when they visited Liverpool Cathedral and I showed them round. They are Chinese and I think they live in the North West and work for a Chinese company in the UK. Last Saturday (30 July 2016) Lingyun returned with three relations and we had another tour of the Cathedral. Lingyun also gave me a beautiful Chinese silk handkerchief which was decorated with exquisite hand embroidered flowers. I shall treasure this generous present. It will not be used! Sorry about the creases!
