We set off bright and early (well, it was 9am, so fairly early) for the first stage of our trip. We headed across the country to Dumfries and Galloway, then over the Border in to Cumbria. Then ... after driving on single carriageway roads ..... motorway
and of course no motorway would be complete without miles of traffic cones .... and not a workman in sight!
After about three and a hlaf hours, we arrived at the first destination of our trip - the city of Chester. We had a quick bite of lunch, then set out to walk round the city walls. (unfortunately the weather didn't co-operate. so no lovely sunshiney shots!)
This was our first view of the walls, looking up from street level
then looking down to the street
I laughed when I read the wording on this building, as it now houses a dentist - I think most people would have more fear of the dentist than the Lord
Further on , we saw this modern doocot - complete with pigeons!
Everywhere we went, we saw strange painted rhinos (I guess it's some sort of street art), but I'll just show you one just now, and save the others for a fiture post, as I'm just doing a quick post from our hotel room before we head out for dinner
Tomorrow we will be up early to travel to Birmingham ..... but why are we going there? If you think you know, leave a comment and I will choose someone at random from the correct answers to give a little prize to (connected of course to where we are going!!)
ps - I hope to be able to post again tomorrow, but if not, we'll be home again on Friday.
