I'm starting my Hadrian's walk trek this weekend. I'm going to be walking in the footsteps of my ancestors as many of them lived in the villages along and around the wall, through Cumbria and Northumberland.
I think my kids are going to get a bit sick of mum diverting into every churchyard we pass 'just for a quick look.'

I like ruins of Castles. This used to be on a border between England and Scotland.

Baptised my brand new #EnglishHeritage card at Berry Pomeroy Castle. Reputedly England's most haunted castle.
This afternoon we went to #DownHouse which was the residence of #CharlesDarwin. #EnglishHeritage have done a good job of restoring the house and opening it up to the public. You can see furnished parts of the house such as the study, bedrooms, drawing rooms and childrens’ and billiard rooms and so on.

A return trip to old favourite Wrest Park for the last day of 2022. We got very wet & made friends with some jackdaws.

For the last two years I've visited this church as part of my volunteer role for English Heritage. I've just completed my last volunteering task as I'll be starting a full time job in January.
This is St Martin's Church at Wharram Percy deserted medieval village.

Watching the live stream from #Stonehenge of the sunrise on the #WinterSolstice. It’s atmospheric, but the best one was two years ago when people couldn’t gather near the stones because of Covid. Seeing people roaming around and taking photos takes you out of the moment somewhat. #EnglishHeritage

The last couple of winter solstices I've enjoyed watching English Heritage's livestream of the sunrise at Stonehenge. I'm not usually a morning person, but 8ish is manageable and it's very peaceful, especially with the music. I really like sleep and I'm on leave tomorrow so don't *have* to be awake, so it's touch and go whether I'll watch it live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHAW279FnSo

Stonehenge & the Heel Stone in the morning light. The Hell stone is the only stone that was not moved to the area from miles away.
