A Superb Few Days Around St Bathans
After leaving Dunedin, we travelled slowly west and north to visit St Bathans. There were was so much to see it took our breath away.
Wightwick Manor
Sorry to bore any non-history loving fans but here's another house we recently visited. Again it's near a canal though further south than Little Moreton Hall. Wightwick Manor (pronounced "Wittick") is situated at Tettenhall near Wolverhampton and about half a mile from the Staffordshire and Worcester Canal. The house is in a grand version of … Continue reading Wightwick Manor
Little Moreton Hall
"There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, and they all lived together in a little crooked house." Seems very apt for this house! Little Moreton Hall also known as Old Moreton Hall is a moated half-timbered … Continue reading Little Moreton Hall

A Succession of Summer Visitors Part 4a – London bound
Our summer kiwi visitors we've blogged about so far had booked their passage with us well in advance. Actually at least a year before their arrival. The next one wasn't quite so planned.

A Succession of Summer Visitors – part 1
Once again it's been a while since we posted.

Maybe we'll start writing about the pitfalls instead of the … Continue reading A Succession of Summer Visitors – part 1
Catching up – from Burnley to Wigan
Why do we blog? We realise a blog is meant to be "a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style." The informal or conversational style isn't much of a challenge. It's the 'regularly updated' part we've frequently struggled … Continue reading Catching up – from Burnley to Wigan

The first was catching … Continue reading Foulridge to Burnley

We are continuous cruisers … Continue reading Skipton to Foulridge Tunnel
Doncaster to Goole with stand-in first mate Fred aboard
After seeing me safely off at Doncaster station on Wednesday 28th March, Barry found himself with a bit of time to kill waiting for Fred to join him for his long anticipated journey to Goole.
