Lytham and Thurnham Hall

Whalley Abbey
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.
Gretna Green and Hadrian’s Wall
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!
Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses, Dunstanburgh Castle, Warkworth Castle,Tantallon Castle, St Mary’s Island
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!
Scottish Road Trip
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…
Blackpool Zoo
Alan needed to go into the lion’s den (literally) so we three girls went exploring around the rest of the zoo…
Wyre Estuary
A beautiful day out…
