The Grand Old Duke of York

 SONG - English Folk Music   https://youtu.be/-6ada8ZSSxM?si=98JUomatA_2F8OiZ

(Like I said yesterday - sometimes I can link it with the title and sometimes it just doesn’t cooperate)


Day 26 - Sat. May 25




We got on the road fairly early Saturday morning driving South towards York along the coastal route.  



A castle on an island through my car window while Mr. B was whizzing us by……



We drove into Berick-upon-tweed along the North Sea and drove through this little hole in the wall…..




And found a nice place to eat breakfast/lunch and to sit outside in the sunshine and feel the salt air. Quiches & salad. Perfect. 




Our next stop was the Home of Hardy Fishing Museum in Alnwick. Guess whose pick that was?  Nope, we had to pass it by as we were both ready to get to our hotel in York. 




Pulled up around 5 and a doorman met us in full dress - plus check out those top hat topiaries!



Did I mention that the English love to put cucumber in their Gin & Tonics?  




It was interesting to do some people watching in the hotels bar “1906”….my lips are sealed….



Our room here looks out over the city walls built by the Romans & Vikings!


Hello York!

Two Pots

Song - Loch Lomond by The Corries




Mr. B eating his Beef Pot Pie and Mash in a little cozy pub in Luss, Scotland.  It was pouring rain that day and the pub in our hotel had a fire going and a great wine list as well as some very delicious food. Luss is a small village on the west side of Loch Lomond.  After lunch we walked around the village and visited the small church and graveyard while our umbrellas were turned inside out.  They had several Viking graves from the 1200's. Just image that!
