Ypres Tower

Rye Castle Museum is on two sites close to each other in the centre of the charming town of Rye in East Sussex. On our visit to the town we did not see inside the East Street Museum as that bit is only open at the weekends. However, we did visit Ypres Tower which is […]…

Chatham Historic Dockyard

As part of our Kent voyage of discovery we visited Chatham Historic Dockyard. We started out by travelling via train to Chatham, then walking to the museum – a walk which took about 40 minutes. By then we were ready for a sit down before exploring the Dockyard. So we met up with our old […]…

Broadstairs

We rented a 1st floor apartment in a house on Eastern Esplanade in the coastal resort of Broadstairs in Kent. The house was ideally located with all the different places to eat and drink being just around the corner. Although close to amenities it was so very quiet and peaceful with glorious views of the […]…

Aldridge Transport Museum

This museum is the home of Aston Manor Road Transport Museum. It is situated in Shenstone Drive, Aldridge, Walsall. West Midlands , WS9 8TP.

The Jacobite – Steam Train Journey Through the Scottish Highlands

A thin veil of steam drifted across the platform at Fort William as I boarded the Jacobite train. I’d arrived in the Highlands a few days earlier on the Caledonian Sleeper, but this was the experience I’d been looking forward to, a journey through some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery aboard one of the world’s […]…

Bats

My teenage granddaughter is fascinated by bats, originally the Halloween ones but has matured to the real night flying variety. I had this at the back of my mind when I saw a social media advert for a Bat and Moth evening being held the following Friday evening by the Shropshire Bat Group at the […]…

A New Forest Escape at The Balmer Lawn Hotel

There are few corners of England where time seems to slow down quite like the New Forest. One moment you’re winding through narrow lanes framed by ancient oaks, the next you’re stopping to let a herd of ponies or cows amble across the road as if they own the place – and in truth, they […]…

The Queen’s House Greenwich

The Queen’s House is part of Maritime Greenwich’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the most beautiful buildings that is free to visit in this picturesque part of London. You can book online but we just walked up and went on the guided tour. The guide tells you all about the history of […]…
