Warkworth Castle & Morwick Dairy Ice-Cream


 Today we took a drive to see Warkworth Castle.  We could not go in of course but it was amazing just to see if from the outside in person.













The village was also very beautiful.  After I took the picture I realized that this was someones front window.  Can you imagine someone coming and taking a picture right at your window?  


This traditional English phone booth still has a pay phone that actually works.


They are sitting in the middle of the road.


I don't know why but I was infatuated with this bell tower and the beautiful flowers.







I thought their yard was very cute.


Views from the road side of Warkworth Castle.

I took a panoramic picture and caught a lot of tail ends of cars.

If there is a castle there needs to be a dragon.

The gps got it wrong this time.



Some of the cows that contributed to our delicious ice-cream.


Got my hazelnut ice-cream.

Went for a walkabout in the neighborhood this evening.


I can imagine sitting here and watching the sunset except for the fact it won't until 10:30.

Getting Ready to Travel to the UK During Covid

Image
We started planning our 2021 United Kingdom adventure in August of 2020 thinking that by that time the Covid restriction nightmare would be over.  Well as we all know that was not the case.  I had booked places to stay that went out of business or were not opening for the season because of all of the Covid issues.  Then as time got closer found out that we would have to quarantine for ten days once we arrived in London.  So then I had to cancel five of the places we would have been staying at plus a much anticipated tour of Highclere Castle and book a home we could quarantine in for the whole 10 days.  We also had to book Covid tests in England to take on day 2 and on day 8 before we left.  The research that went into that took a lot of time because when I thought I found one I would then look up their reviews and would decide against them.  I finally went with  Screen4  self testing.  I contacted Elliott the owner of the home that I ha...

Land's End, Carn Galver Mine & St. Ives

Image
Today we headed out on a drive.  Our first destination was Saint Michael's Mount.  We could not find anywhere to even park so it was a quick pull over and take a photo before driving on. Land's End is a major tourist trap that if you want to do everything will empty your pockets fast. The views are beautiful though. This cute little village was originally in Lelant but was moved to Land's End circling the standing stones. I can't get over the beauty of the land. These have to be the first geese that I have been around that were not mean. on our way from Land's End to St. Ives we came across some wild horses. They were very tame. I wouldn't suggest petting them though because as we found out they have ticks. People can just pop up a tent or probably even their camper van in the field.   We drove by some lovely little villages and homes. Beautiful puzzle piece fields. Well St. Ives is just going to be a drive thru also. Homes with a view. I can see why it is so po...

Travel Day's

Image
We made a pit stop in one of the service exits on our way back to London.  I thought this little kitty was a fun little bit of whimsy on the restroom door. After Ben and Charleen got their lateral flow test to be able to fly home tomorrow and we got checked into our hotel we walked down to a restaurant that we had passed by.  The food was excellent and the service was very friendly. We had a classic English meal of bangers and mash with spotted dick for dessert. We also stopped to admire the flowers on the way back and to make fun of the smallest garbage can out on the street. Charleen and Ben turned in the other rental car before their flight and we walked over to pick up our new car. We just barely fit in the Hyundai I10.  Roger has to be a contortionist to get in the drivers seat.  It does make parking much easier though. We made a pit stop at the Jamaican Inn  that our friend Will recommended.  To bad the restaurant and the outdoor seating area was clos...
