Life is a journey, not a destination



Sorry I have been offline for a couple of days. We are currently in a very small village called Gorebridge near Edinburgh in Scotland and there doesn't seem to be any service. I have just connected to some network. I don't know whose it is, but they should probably have secured it in some way:)

We came up to Scotland over two days stopping in Durham for the night. Thank heavens we decided to stop because it pretty much took us the full two days to get here!!!

On the way to Durham we just happened upon a lovely little village with an incredible old ruined castle in the middle of it. We could believe it, it wasn't even signposted as a destination to visit and yet there it was. Just sitting there for the last thousand years. As you can see, only the four corners are standing now and it is quite breathtaking.

We spent about two hours in Sheriff Hutton (unusual name eh - I can only suppose it was named after an enforcement agent of the past, Sheriff Hutton) and even bought a book all about the history of the castle from the local post office.

Lovely. Just shows what you miss when you take the motorway!

Love
