Skipton Castle

We has an amazing Friday day trip, thanks to our fantastic neighbor Alex. We got to see a small part of West Yorkshire history. A well known character from this castle's long story was named Lady Anne, so I had a special connection to it. We topped of the day with a plate of fish and chips. At times England just amazes me!

Edinburgh . . a modern day fairy tale city

I have fallen in love with Edinburgh. . .

St. Andrews

Breath taking. . . need I say more.

Ghost tours and Scottish Pub Food

Thank you to some dear friends I got to spend my birthday in Edinburgh. We went on an amusing ghost tour of haunted Edinburgh, led by a ghost. Edinburgh was the perfect back drop for those horrible tales told. We finished our evening at a pub with a delicious dinner and live entertainment. It was all together a spectacular birthday!
