The Dengie
In direct contrast to my trip to London a couple of days ago, we drove out to the Dengie today. A peninsula on the Essex “The Dengie”

London is just up the road from us, but it usually takes an out-of-town visitor to lure me into the city. Today I met up “Lovely London!”
Holy Ground
Another splendid morning that begged us to enjoy a bit of exploration as we ran our usual errands. Holy Trinity Church stands at the top of the High “Holy Ground”

Our final day on the road. The weather was grey and soggy for most of the 400 miles we covered, but we were determined to “Homeward Bound”
Innerleithen
The Tweed River valley is lush, green, and rich with history and tradition. Today we explored two places that seem to draw this community together. St. “Innerleithen”
South to the Border
Our 2015 tours are finished. I’m glowing from the sheer fabulousness of spending all this time taking wonderful people to amazing places. I’m going to “South to the Border”

This is the Italian Chapel on the tiny island of Lamb Holm, Orkney, is a modern miracle that stands as a testament to the human “Resilience”

I have found my castle! We couldn’t resist turning off the main road when we saw signs pointing to Hermitage Castle. What could be better “Hermitage Castle”
