First, dear readers of Wear and Dao, to apologise for the error of the date yesterday, when actually the 12th of August is today I.e. Friday. Off we went bright and breezy to Alnwick Castle with the partner's two grandchildren, Dan and Harvey to see the stately home of the Percys, the Earl of Northumberland. The castle is very impressive and full of valuable artwork, like Van Dyke and other master painters and the current Earl, Ralph Percy has made a great job of selling the place to visitors, with participative games from yon times like quoits and bowls plus animated stories of the history of the place.
We brought a picnic for the two boys and ourselves which we ate on the lawns then played petanque or boules which was fun then moved on to crazy golf. What a great day we had dear readers, with more warm sunshine to enjoy.
Tomorrow it's to Barnard Castle for sourdough bread from Rise ...
