THE COTSWOLDS & HADRIANS WALL:  Images from left to right:
Chipping Campden in the Cotswalls is a typical Cotswall village; A visit to the Roman Fort ruins at Vindolanda along Hadrian's Wall; Ron standing beside what was once a Roman pillar; just some of the excavations at the site. It was here we realized that since we had arrived in Egypt we had been in, in what was the ancient Roman Empire all the time! It was a long way from Rome to the far-flung extremities of the great empire!!!

       

 

WARICK CASTLE:  Images from left to right:
Warwick Castle ws well worth a look around, with its palatial rooms and surrounding gardens. The rooms are really done up well with life size wax figures (the castle is owned by Madam Trousseaus waxworks!) and really tell a story - we really enjoyed it; Ron standing beside a very old, large, gun.

       

 

BAMBURGH & HOLY ISLAND  Images from left to right:
Bamburgh Castle is perch on a lofty promitory right on the coast and dominates the surrounding area;   Holy Island is a little further north along the coast. Reached by a long causeway, which gets flooded every high tide, the island and its church has been a place of pilgrimage since about 634AD; there were lots of people and the car park was full.
