A Day at the Castle

October 7, 2013

Today was P-day.  Preparation day consists of cleaning the flat, changing the sheets, washing the car, running errands for such things as over-priced light bulbs.  I miss American light bulbs.   After we got our work done, we resisted the temptation to take a nap and went to Costco for an almost American hot dog and of course a few other things.  Then we went to see Beeston castle.  It’s actually the remains of a castle built on top of a rocky crag, so today Craig saw a castle on a crag.  It was a bit of a hike to get to the top, but there was such a lovely view all around and it was so peaceful up there.  There were only a few other people there.  The view of the Cheshire plain just couldn’t be captured on a photo.  It was a pleasant drive on country roads to get there.  We were also lucky to have very mild weather.  It was a nice afternoon.

We made visits in the evening and had family home evening with a young mother whose husband is in the hospital.
