March to July 2015 :o)

Hi again :o)  I'm doing my best to get things up to date on here as I've been quite lax about posting our photos on here, so these are some photos from between March and July this year.  We only managed the odd weekend away in Kitty so stayed pretty close to home, other than one weekend visiting Phil's sister at Melton Mowbray and the May Bank holidays when we visited Rutland on the first one and then got down to Norwich for the late one (also Phil's Birthday).

This was a stop on the way down to Melton Mowbray, The Stamford Post,

Stamford (second photo as the name wasn't clear on the first and - you can see Kitty!!)

The Kettleby Cross, Melton Mowbray

The Samuel Lloyd, Corby

The Saxon Crown, Corby

The Earl of Dalkeith, Kettering

The Captain Noel Newton, Oakham

This is The Wheatsheaf Inn in Wisbech, a refreshment stop on the way to Norwich

This is the Hipperdrome in March - a converted playhouse - looks amazing inside :o)

 

The Red Lion in Thetford (where much of Dad's Army was filmed)

This one is truly an amazing building so I've included a couple of photos of the inside - just look at that ceiling!! It is the Corn Exchange in Bury St Edmunds.

Then we got to Norwich itself - an amazing city, I have intended coming here many times but never made it until now.  So glad we got there in the end! We visited the Colman's Mustard museum (although to be honest it was more of a shop with a couple of displays in it) the shopping arcade it was in was lovely, very art noveau in its' decor.  We discovered a little street that looked like we had stepped back in time, I'll add a couple of photos below, although they don't do it justice!  There is also a lovely walk down by the river - and luckily for me very flat with plenty of rest-stops. The two Wetherspoons above are The Bell Hotel, and the Glasshouse; the two shown further below are the Queen of Iceni and The Whiffler.

And one last photo from the Norwich trip - look at this awesome tree!! (Apologies for grainy photo my phone battery had run flat so this was taken on a tablet)

The Tollemarch Inn, Grantham (on the way back up) 

Second photo as the name in the first was not very clear

The Sir John Arderne, Newark

And just a few random ones from closer to home:

Admiral of the Humber, Hull

The Three John Scotts, Hull

The William Wilberforce, Hull

The Yarborough Hotel, Grimsby

Cheers for now

Phil & Stefanie :o)

(Wetherspoons count - 47 + 20 = 67)
