Maggie was born in the county of
Northumberland in the north east, and later moved to
Lancashire on the west coast. Later, we lived in an area called
East Anglia when Ron was stationed there in the Air Force. Our travels have also taken us to
Cambridge,
the
Lake District,
York, and of course,
London. Just a few of the other places of interest that we have visited are
Belvoir Castle, the city of
Chester,
Little Moreton Hall,
Warwick Castle, and
Windsor Castle.
In England, history abounds and is obvious to even the most casual observer. Virtually every city, town, or village has a church that dates back 500 to 900 years. Half timbered houses date back to the days of Queen Elizabeth - I and are still in use today. Quaint thatched houses can be seen throughout the country and you never have to go very far to visit a castle in one state of restoration or another.
