• An unexpected surprise..

    On Saturday as it’s the bank holiday weekend, we went for a drive into Worcestershire and for a walk in Kyre Park which adjoins the Kyre Estate and has an ancient church St Mary’s adjacent to the main house. It is a Norman church and parts of the church date back to the 12th Century.…

    I am away this week on holiday in North Yorkshire enjoying the peace and beauty of the landscape.
