September Travels

With the solar finally sorted it was time for a few days away visiting family - breaking the journey on the way with a night in Warwick.


Had a good walk round the town and outside of the castle, indulged in a couple of drinks, and had a very nice curry - watching (with some bemusement) as hundreds of people in flashing bunny ears went walking by . . .





It turns out there was a charity walk in town - they certainly made for a colourful if rather bizarre sight!


From bunny ears to dragon boats - happened upon another charity event by the river the next day - all the teams dressed up, and obviously having a great time.


On from Warwick to meet up with family - had a good catch-up, and took the parents out and about.  Nice, but breezy trip to RSPB Titchwell - walked down to the dunes, lovely views out to sea and the wind whipping the sand around our feet:


Nice lunch out, then finished the day with a visit to the old Wolferton station - formerly the 'royal' station for Sandringham before it closed in 1969. 


Now a private home, they open the platform area free of charge to visitors in the afternoons - really quite charming, with some interesting displays reflecting the history of the station.

All in all a nice few days before heading back to Wales (and work).
