Left Newcastle-upon-Tyne in search of the 2000 year old Hadrians Wall.
Built to keep the 'barbarians' of the North out of the Roman conquered South, the stone wall once ran the entire width of the UK.
Nowadays it better functions as a prize in a scavenger hunt as you try and find its remains.
After a slow start we found the remains of a fortress part of the wall high up on a hill overlooking two valleys; ideal for keeping a watchful eye on invaders.
Lucky for us, it was free as the museum was being renovated (for Olympics......).
Now in a cute b&b for a couple of days in the Lakes District, west England. From what we have seen on the way in it should be called the mountain and snow district. Hopefully the Lake is easier to find than the Wall.
The toy sheep came with the room. For 8 quid you can spend the night with Baa-bara and take her home.
SO cute and I love me some Roman history & the sheep is way cute (nice wallpaper too by the looks). Will have to wait to catch up on more posts cos a certain baby is screeching at me to come get him. xx
