What's next?

Hmmm...

Could be a small house for me and hubby during the summer or could be another big one for the pub crowd - Howthwaite in Cumbria looks a good bet.

We'll see...

Freston Tower (okay, so we cheated!)

Just a taster....

My parents live in Ipswich, which is not far from where the Tower is (I grew up walking to the Tower in my summer hols!)

So, this weekend, me and hubby went for a walk...

We would love to stay there, but couldn't quite justify the money when it is so close to home!

Things to do...

So what did we do this time?

Well, we went into Edinburgh when we arrived on the Friday afternoon (after a £25 first class return train journey!) We went to look at the castle...

Then on the Saturday, we went to see the Royal Yacht Britannia...


An on the Sunday we had a walk around The Glen (in the rain), had a massive roast lunch and then relaxed in front of the open fire and read, chatted and played at tower building with the 20 month old...

Monday, we went to Rosslyn Chapel - it was more than what I imagined it could have been (but you'll have to see for yourself, as I'm not going to put any pics on here!)

Hidden levels

Back again....

What other things to share? Hmmm....


The castle has 2 levels of living accomodation and three floors of accessible lower levels. The first room has an infra red light-thing, but then you're on your own. The following pics were taken with a flash, so it looks like broad daylight, but believe me....IT WAS PITCH BLACK.
When you watch programmes such as Most Haunted, you wonder how they can get so scared? Well, take a trip into the lower levels with no torch or candles and you'll soon find out!
