Leeds Castle
On the last public holiday before Christmas we visited Leeds Castle in Kent.
On the last public holiday before Christmas we visited Leeds Castle in Kent.
A glorious day! I received more direct sun today than the last few months combined.
Last Sunday 3rd May we took a short drive outside of Canterbury to walk in the woods whilst Bluebells were blossoming.
I stayed in Shrewsbury in Shropshire over the Easter break. On Saturday we had a day trip to Aberystwyth (or Aber as the locals call it) on the mid-west coast of Wales. The population can reach close to 20 000 when the University is in term. In some ways, Aber is to Wales what Perth is to Australia - isolated. I’ve enjoyed sunshine and perfect weather on my only two visits there, my first trip being 7 months ago.
On Saturday afternoon I travelled into London with Emily to visit the South Bank. We started from London Bridge walking towards Tower Bridge. Along the way we passed the HMS Belfast, a British cruiser that operated in World War II. It was retired from service in the 1960s and is now is a museum.
Last weekend I was fortunate enough to spend the weekend in Paris with Emily.
