England and Scotland

I am staying with Rebecca and her lovely family in Suffolk, England. So far I have seen the old Abbey at Bury St Edmunds, had a drink in the nutshell - Britain's smallest pub, been to Felixstone for fish and chips (with peas of course!) at the old pub, played in the penny arcades by the shore, had ice cream at the beach, and we just got back from a road trip to Scotland with the kids. On the road trip we saw Alnwick Castle, where some of Harry Potter was filmed, Bamburgh Castle by the beach in Northumberland, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Edinburgh Castle, I learnt all about Scotch Whiskey at the Scotch Whiskey Experience, pedalled around Loch Lomond on a pedal boat and saw the university and city centre of Glasgow. We Travelled 1002.5 miles by the time we got home to Suffolk.

Inside the first door at Alnwick Castle where the enemy would have boiling hot animal fat poured onto them.
