Salisbury Cathedral

So excited to revisit this grand old place, even more so to meet the sister of long time friend, Margie, who works here as the lead guide.
 




Morgan and Lilly lit candles and prayed for healing mercies for Adrian.



We went to the Magna Carta, which gave me chills, reading it and looking at it. I am loving this rediscovery of places Ive been.

Leeds Castle Maze and Grotto

Last time we were here it took Adrian to come rescue me as I got so so lost here.

This time wasn't any better.. But instead we had a maze guide from the turrets help us.. Very embarrassing. Incredibly complex and confusing maze but with the reward of climbing the tower. Then clambering down deep under the maze to discover the grotto and tunnels





Very eerie when down there. They have Collerage's The ancient mariner being read on loop. 

Leeds Castle

Called the loveliest castle in the UK, I have my own favourites to rival this claim, but it certainly is in my top five.

On huge sweeping grounds and waterways, it has an army of gardeners with all thier tools keeping it pristine... I can't begin to imagine how many were employed here before modern times.






So much to enjoy snd relax by here, it was a shame only to have a day here.

I think Warwick castle has had the best falconry show so far but the draw cards for me to show the kuds was the unusual dog collar museum and the maze with grotto( see other posts!)
