After a lovely night in a pretty little old hotel…
…and after getting yet another covid test…
It was time to fly from Manchester to Ljubljana via Frankfurt…
I wondered at first about my grey dessert – turn out to be a delicious chocolate covered creamy thing… yum…
View from my balcony…
It was a beautiful night so went for a walk to find somewhere for dinner…
This restaurant only sells local food and drink – including local soft drink, wine, beer, liqueurs…
On the surface, this day might seem like a bummer of a day as five different places I went to were closed, but I still had a lovely day of exploring…
Sir Walter Scott’s courthouse…
Reading Sir Walter Scott’s journal in Waverley Castle…
Headed out first to Lytham, then up to stay for a few days at Thurnham Hall – part of the building dates to the 13th century, but most was built in the 17th century.
Heading back down from Ashington where I had been staying, I spent a couple of nights near Clitheroe and spent ages exploring and wandering around the ruins of Whalley Abbey.
Wonderful day of exploring. I first headed to Gretna Green, however when I saw how touristy it had become, decided to head for my next stop – hiking along part of Hadrian’s Wall!
I headed off north on a road trip and went exploring a number of places from Bamburgh Castle, to Seahouses, to Dunstanburgh Castle, to Warkworth Castle, to Tantallon Castle to St Mary’s Island…….
What an amazing couple of days!
We headed off for what was only going to be two nights in Scotland, and ended up being almost a week! It was ever so lovely…
Alan needed to go into the lion’s den (literally) so we three girls went exploring around the rest of the zoo…
A beautiful day out…
Just down the road from the windmill, is the Museum of the Horse – and if one expects this to be a small museum, relative to the small size of the village, one will be very surprised. The place is HUGE! As you look through the photos, consider that I only took ones that were of particular interest to me – and that was about only one third of what was on display. The place is amazing!
John was kind enough to open the doors and give me a close look at the lovely old mail carriage…
This is actually the old Tuxford jail!
