Thank God for my big lungs

Quiz question , what’s got 528 steps up ( and 528 down of course ) and involves Whispering ,Stone and Gold and has a fantastic view at the top ?

Clue ..it’s not the Shard when the lifts aren’t working .

Of course it is good old St Paul’s Cathedral .John and I hotfooted it right to the very top yesterday .I haven’t done that sine 1994, when I did it with Jacob and Rosie , while John ,Jane and Florence ( who was probably crying as she was left out ) waited at the bottom in the crypt cafe .I remember it well ,as right at the very top there is a square of glass which looks straight down over the central floor of the cathedral , and Jacob was the only one brave enough to stand on it .

John and I then rounded off the day with sundowners on the 5th floor of the Tate Modern , looking back over the river at the beautiful dome we had just climbed , followed by a fab Thai meal to celebrate Claire ( my big balloon saviour ) ‘s birthday
