Scarborough England [2018]

We took a day trip from York to Scarborough, which was really gorgeous and very walkable. We had breakfast (and 4-across) at Sunny's, went to Anne Bronte's grave, to Scarborough Castle (next set of pictures) and walked down to North Bay, stopping to watch some skaters at HairyBob's Skatepark and Dirtjumps, around to South Bay and took the funicular back up to town!

Winchester, Bath and the Cotswolds [2011]

I decided to hop over to pick Steve up after his month in Winchester. We tooled around from Winchester to Boscombe, Stonehenge, Bath and the Cotswolds before the last day in London.

Cinnamon Club, London [2009]

Last night we had an absolutely amazing meal, at the Cinnamon Club in the old Westminster Library (www.cinnamonclub.com) and they don't even have a sign outside, that's how good they are - great recommendation by our fabulous hotel, the City Inn. Best hotel of the trip - they even have a computer in the room! Today, our last honeymoon day not in a plane/airport, our expected highlight will be Churchill's cabinet war rooms!

Honeymoon - On Our Way! [2009]
