You can stay over and cook there though. So if you want see their buildings for free, you shouldn't miss their Open Day. http://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/news-and-events/latest-news/heritage-open-days-2016/ Unfortunately, most of them were open on the same weekend this month, I actually wish they could rearrange this limited period so poor visitors, like me, get to maximise our visits!

Every morning I found I had migrated down towards the bottom of the bed and away from the headboard. Normally I am nestled up at the top of the bed :-) The bed was huge!

It would be nice to see you and Astrid again. It certainly is a lot of fun :-)

But we sure have fun, don't we. :) Good for you. And to think that today we fly to your fair country for 10 days!

We were both irritated by the sudden downpour and wanted to get back to the car so we could make our way to our lunchtime destination without being late. Mr C making a short dash for the car was the practical and logical solution. We did however laugh about the sun coming out just as I got into the car :-) :-) It obviously sounds more romantic than it was, it must be my whimsical way with words…

Although some days later in the week we did not find enough time to relax. I think that might have been because we were staying in a town rather than the countryside.

Sometimes I am OK with black pudding and sometimes I am not. But I am sure you can introduce me to other fine tapas dishes that might tempt me to try them :-) As soon as we got back home I started planning our next vacation to Northumberland. I have a hotel in mind which is near to where we used to stay. But I am still in the middle of my research finding just the right home from home place. It was lovely to see you too :-)
