Today, my wanderings took me to Nostell Priory which was beautifully decorated for Christmas with a 'Narnia' theme, then to Pontefract Castle in the pouring rain and finishing with a visit to Harrogate Pump Room.

Fantastic day today! Spent far too much money on new bobbins at the Lace fair in Birmingham and then on to the beautifully decorated Hardwick Hall and finally the impressive ruins of Sutton Scarsdale Hall!

Crafty people are just wonderful! I have had the best day at the Crafts4Crafters Show in Shepton Mallet. Four fun courses and lots of purchases later, I am tired, but very happy!

Wanderings took me to Ely- fell in love with the stunning Cathedral, visited the stained glass museum + tried to feel more frendly towards Cromell by visiting his house. Spent SO much at Toppings, then on to Huntingdon where Cromwell was born to learn more! Brilliant second hand bookshop there.

Brilliant time today, walking the Agatha Christie mile (we actually walked nearly 6!) in Torquay. We even had a drink in the Imperial Hotel and the sun shone on us nearly all day.

Great day out at the Gloustershire Vintage Car Show! I'm not much of a car lover, but there was so much to see and enjoy- and I got to hold a little owl!
