Warwick Castle
August 25, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Auf dem Weg nach Oxford ging es zum Warwick Castle.

Eine geschichtsträchtige Burg die aber aufgrund Ihres Renovierungszustandes eher modern wirkt. Zumal es neben einer echt beeindruckenden historischen Sammlung (die aber die Engländer gefühlt weniger interessiert) eine kleine Art Vergnügungspark mit Shows gibt.

Wir haben uns für beides interessiert und kamen auf unsere Kosten und haben gelernt wie aus den Geschlechtern York und Lancaster die Tudors entstandenRead more

Arriva l'ultima giornata prima delle partenze; siamo tutti molto tristi, ma cerchiamo di goderci la giornata al meglio. Nel pomeriggio visitiamo il castello di Warwick, molto grazioso, ma le statue di cera erano inquietanti. Assistiamo ad una reinterpretazione della guerra delle Due Rose con giochi sui cavalli.Read more

Guy's Tower (1395) - Warwick Castle
July 17, 2023 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Guy's Tower is the tallest point at Warwick Castle.

What is really noticeable is the lack of signs re legal liability in Britain. The stairs at Guy's Tower are really steep as you climb to the top. Not sure they would comply with Australian law!!Read more

Warwick Castle
July 17, 2023 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Warwick Castle is a medieval castle in Warwick, England, founded by William the Conqueror in 1068. The original wooden motte-and-bailey castle was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century by the de Beaumont family, the castle’s constables who became the earls of Warwick. During the Hundred Years War, the facade opposite the town was refortified, resulting in one of the most recognisable examples of 14th-century military architecture. The de Beaumont line died out in 1449, and the castle passed between different owners during the 15th-century Wars of the Roses.

Despite falling into decreasing disrepair, the castle was used as a stronghold until the early 17th century, when it was granted to Sir Fulke Greville by James I in 1604. Greville converted it to a country house. The castle was held by the Parliamentarians during the English Civil War and was unsuccessfully besieged by the Royalists in 1642. The Grevilles redeveloped the property during the 18th century, landscaping the grounds and developing more Gothic features; they were made the Earls of Warwick in 1759. Further work followed in the 19th century, including by the architect Anthony Salvin.Read more

Warwick und Peak District NP

Heute sind wir über Warwick (Shakespeare Town) Richtung Sheffield gefahren. Die Wetterapp hat gelogen. Keine Sonne und frisch. Wir sitzen trotzdem draußen!
Über CAMC haben wir einen schönen Stellplatz auf einem Bauernhof gefunden (10 £).
Die Fahrt hierhin ging durch
wunderschöne Landschaften.
Bilder habe ich nicht viele gemacht. Aber Frank hat gefilmt. Video folgt.

Lazy,lazy day today. I have been watching series three of the itv new drama Unforgotten. As always it is gripping,well written and addictive. At least I will be in England to see the final two episodes. This crime-drama stars Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar as the lead characters DCI Cassie Stuart and DS Sunil "Sunny" Khan. The detectives are on a mission to uncover the mystery behind an unsolved murder that occurred 39 years ago. Beneath the ground of a demolished house, the bones of the victim are found. With this evidence, the modern police team open a case to unearth the history that has remained buried for decades. Four main suspects emerge, and as their dark past is unraveled, the truth behind the events of the crime are finally revealed. Just going to check on what I’ve missed on the BBC.

Michael made me cheese on toast and coffee for breakfast which was delicious. We are going for a walk later and out for dinner tonight. Chris is at work and Katie has gone babysitting in Leeds for her best friend Barbara. Tabby has sent photos from Trevone and they are all having a great time. Tonight we dined in style in the country at the village pub called The Alma in the hills above Ripponden. Sharon was managing the bar tonight and was our maître de. We sat outside having pre dinner drinks and played ball with a lovely sheep dog. The meals were Gordon Bleu service and reasonably priced. The wifi had broken down so I had to pay with cold hard cash. But it was worth it as we had a brilliant evening. Goodnight diary.Read more

Hopeless Wanderer
August 3, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
It was training not raining today. I caught the train from Coventry to Stockport today to meet up with Michael,Katie and Chris. The journey was uneventful, although the train was packed and I could not get a seat until after Birmingham International. Sam cooked us a full English breakfast this morning so that I would not be hungry on my train ride. Michael was waiting for me at the station and as Katie had given him her car we were soon on our way.

Ripponden is a village and civil parish on the River Ryburn near Halifax in West Yorkshire, England. Historically it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Its population was 6,412 at the time of the 2001 Census, and 7,421 in 2011. I love Ripponden it is set in beautiful Yorkshire countryside, green and hilly. We are off for dinner at the Hito tonight. The Hito used to be called the Millhouse but it has now turned Spanish. Michael and I stopped on the journey home at the Turnpike a pub on the Oldham Road. Michael phoned Katie and asked if she wanted us to pick her up. We drove into Halifax and her shop and it was lovely to see her and have a big hug. She looked genuinely happy to see me.

In the evening we met up with Sharon and Ian to have dinner at the new rebranded Hito pub. The Hito was formally known as the Milestone which sounded a better name than its latest name which sounds Japanese. We began our evening at the Fox and sat out in the beer garden as the evening was warm. I cannot believe I have been able to sit outside in England and have a drink. The Tapas meal that we ordered at the Hito was delicious. The food was spicy and tasted authentic Spanish. We ordered far too much. The girls were drinking Porn star cocktails and the boys G&T’s. Sharon and Ian came back to Katie and Chris’s and we had an Elvis and sixties revival. Michael and I dropped into bed about midnight. It was a really good day. Goodnight diary.Read more

I Wasn't Born to Follow
August 1, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Yesterday was Leamington on Spa. Leamington Spa is a town in central England. Set on the winding River Leam, it’s known for its Regency architecture and broad boulevards. The colonnaded Royal Pump Rooms, a 19th-century bathhouse, now houses the Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum. It includes a local history gallery and an original hammam, or cooling room. Jephson Gardens is a park with formal flowerbeds and a glasshouse for tropical plants.

It was a brilliant day out. And the weather was warm. Tabby, Ritchie,Tania,Audrey,Ollie and I set off to do some shopping and have a morning tea at Rosies. Rosie’s is an old English tea shop which sells over one hundred different teas from around the world. They serve a magnificent high tea with China cups, leaf tea and fresh sandwiches and home baked cakes. We opted for a Ploughmans lunch with English cheeses,ham off the bone and pork pie with mustard. It was delicious. Then it was time for a little retail therapy. I purchased yet another camera and Tabby added a few nice coloured tops to her collection. Audrey and Oliver were give £10 each to spend in the toy shop and they had fun choosing a new toy each. Tania purchased some new trendy hair bands and the shopping was complete. My feet were killing me as we had been walking for at least three hours.

Last night we were invited to a small reunion of Tabbys theatre friends from YOG. It was great to put faces to people I had heard about over the years and who had been a big part of Tabbys life in the six years she lived in England. They have been close all these years like a surrogate family to Tabby. It was a warm night and Audrey even went into the spa at ten pm. This is England,no one swims outside at ten pm. I love it that the weather is so good for travelling. I enjoyed the evening and once again,hit the sack when I got home. Our days are full and happy. The best holidays are made up of friends, family and having fun. Goodnight diary.Read more
