Travelog for: Nana

A beautiful day so we've come out to see...       

Warkworth Castle.        

Where shall we go today?

Sadly, we have to go home to Wales....

On the way back to Wales, we spotted this from the motorway

So came to have a closer look, even in the rain...

The weather cleared up a bit so we stretched our legs....

At the High Force waterfall

We've come to my host's mum's for Christmas.

We are helping with the Christmas decorations. These lights work.

We've had a very quiet festive time....

taking us ages to complete two 1000 jigsaw puzzles.

Happy New Year... We went for a drive...

And stopped off at Wells-next-the-Sea.

Would have gone for a walk if the weather had been nicer.

We've come for a walk... Last week, there was a bad storm and tidal surges.

Lots of pebbles have washed up almost destroying the footpath.

Some areas though fared worse.

Have come out for some fresh air

It is a bit too fresh..

And murky.

Today, we've come to buy some seed potatoes at a Potato day.

There is plenty of choice.

These are first earlies.

And look at the range of pretty coloured potatoes.

This is a museum...

The film is about iron.

This museum is a Victorian museum. This We have come to a shop.

Some scales...

And some of the things are available to buy.

This is the chemists.

The dressmakers.

A letter box.

I think my host likes this piece of furniture!

Some items for sale in the Post office.

Upstairs, there is a small postal museum. There are premium bonds and postal orders.....

Part of a timeline of the postal service...

Can you imagine a postie riding this on his rounds?

5 wheels so pentacycle.

Nice old postbox.

Some more modern postboxes..

Information on the Pillar box.

Some photos on display.

An old motorbike.

Back outside the post office.

Look at those..... yummmmy...

Lead works, plumbing...

At the printers.... a phrase has been coined.

Quite a bit of printing has been done here...

In the pub!

It was closing time so we drank up!

My host has been shopping....

I wonder what she's bought.

Hello, don't be shy, come on out

Hello there, welcome


Then, we had an idea.... we could play a game...

Power Grid.

Who won?

Time for some fresh air

and a wander around Springfields

where there are various little gardens

Calming water feature...

But this is a bit bright.

There is also a garden centre... These wellies are a bit too big for me.

And they have gift ideas..

And some decorative planters.

An aquarium somewhere.


Long spikes on that urchin

What time is it?

Look at all those books.

Nice picture


How about that stove?
