Excellent Warwickshire

We did some some domestic tourism this weekend.
It was brill.
Sneaky little night away in a B&B on Saturday night.
Went to Warwick Castle on Saturday. I was prepared, tights-jeans-vest-top-jumper-coat-scarf-gloves. We paid £10 each to get in as we bought from an "unauthorised person" just outside the entrance who had spare tickets he wanted to make a bit of money on. He looked like a geology student not a tout and he saved us £15 x 2 so we were happy.

It was smaller than I expected. There were alot of actors there - saw some duelling gents and a couple of jesters who were funny. I preferred the older part of the castle -the ramparts and the towers.

Sunday we visited his hometown:

I had wanted to go for a while, it was also quite cute as we were re-tracing my parents footsteps from a trip they took in 1981!

We had magnificent weather - blue sky, sunshine. I even braved it and went without my tights.

Have tens of photos to add on soon.
2 weeks of winter left!
