Had a wonderful week with my youngest daughter in the North. Highlights included a trip to the Farne Islands to see amazing sea birds. The a 3 day trip to Bishop Auckland taking in the Bishops Palace, Zurbaran 's amazing paintings, and the magnificent pageant of Kynren.This covered 2000 years of British History and included a cast of 1000 volunteers plus expert sword fighters and horse riders. Memorable. Added benefit of being much cooler!
