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!

Another amazing day yesterday. A monument to a poet, Reiver towers, a castle, an abbey and a watermill were just some of our stops! We also visited the stunning 'Forgotten Fleece Tales' exhibition in Langholm- so inspiring!
