We started today by having breakfast at the Ancastar B&B, and then heading to Lincoln where we visited Lincoln Castle, our first real castle. Apparently it has not been modified at all. Inside the walls of the castle, there is a jail, which was not a very nice place. In another room there was the Magna Carta, unfortunately no photos were allowed. The Lincoln Cathedral is very close to the castle and is equally amazing. We drove from Lincoln to York, which is another Medieval Town, and again the buildings are amazing. We have managed really well with driving - John is the driver, I'm navigator, and so far we haven't been lost!!!I haven't even turned the map upside down yet???We are spending the night at the Cedar Court, Best Western Motel in Harrogate. Tonight we went to the pub for dinner, came home early and I had a relaxing bath...didn't have any Champagne to drink while having a soak, so had to have a glass of red instead. Tomorrow we are heading towards the Lakes District. Hope everyone is well and that you all enjoyed your Easter Long Weekend.
Sue, thanks for the Skype call. It was great to have a chat. The internet connection dropped out. I did try to call you back, but you must have logged off . Will try to talk again soon

  1. I have just watched the Antiques Roadshow which was convened in Lincoln Cathedral so I watched it very carefully knowing that you had just been visiting it a couple of hours before. Very beautiful. Apparently it was the tallest building in the world for centuries. Lucky you to have seen it up close. XXX
