St Paul’s Church is only a 10 minute walk from my house and I used to work opposite it for many years and yet it is only recently that I really began to notice it! I have had a ganders around the outside of it and it is quite a grand church that has somehow … More An undiscovered church
I like Boston Stump for several reasons, it is a great piece of architecture and has a special identity by being called a stump instead of church or cathedral. I also like how I can walk through Boston city centre with the stump nowhere to be seen and then suddenly everything opens up and the … More Boston Stump
We had a long drive ahead of us from Swanmore near Winchester back to home, so we decided to do more than half the drive before taking a break somewhere. We drove for over two hours and stopped in Stratford upon Avon. The town was incredibly busy! It was a hot and sunny day, but … More A Quick Visit to Stratford upon Avon
It had been an incredible 5 months since we had been away! A long time for us traveller folk. But sometimes other things in life takes precedence and that was moving into our first house over winter. We spent just the one night in Shrewsbury, staying at the Premier Inn, which was rather well located … More The Sights of Shrewsbury
We chose a lovely day to visit Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire, it felt like a summer’s day! Situated in the little village of Tattershall, the 15th century castle is in great condition and looks more like a tower than a castle.

The Birmingham Back to Backs are carefully restored back to back houses from different time periods, starting in the 1840’s and going as far as the 1970’s.

So we had to go again in August to appreciate the grounds in nicer weather. It was much busier this time round, obviously. … More Kedleston Hall Revisited
When we visited Hardwick in late January it was cold, quiet and both the new and old halls were closed. We also wanted to see the herb and other gardens to see what had grown and flowered, as in January it was just soil and labels of what would be growing. We took lunch with … More Hardwick Revisited
I have not written a TravelTuesday post in a while, so thought I would post this lovely photo of the rally field at Rutland Caravan and Camping. We visited the in-laws on one of their days off from working at this campsite and we timed it well with the good weather. It meant we could … More Spring in Rutland
We made the short journey from Leamington Spa to Warwick, so short they are practically joined to one another. It was a sunny spring day and annoyingly still the Easter holidays in Warwickshire, so it was very busy. We had to drive round the whole town looking for somewhere to park before ending up … More Warwick – History and Expense
