It looked a lovely place. Have you ever been to Castle Rising in Norfolk? It is the most wonderful castle, definitely one of my favourites:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-40684484398219753532007-10-16T17:19:00.000+01:002007-10-16T17:19:00.000+01:00Sounds like a great time was had by one and all!

We live near Sudeley Castle, which is great for a bit of Henry VIII history, but there's nothing quite as old and exciting as Richmond round these parts!<BR/>Cathy Xpinkgreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04142564092523018269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-17536649045569005782007-10-16T15:32:00.000+01:002007-10-16T15:32:00.000+01:00WE are lucky enough to have a few castles not too ...WE are lucky enough to have a few castles not too far from us and have spent many a happy family time at them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-64504060656847668432007-10-15T19:52:00.000+01:002007-10-15T19:52:00.000+01:00Hi there - I live about 15 miles from Richmond and...Hi there - I live about 15 miles from Richmond and my mother in law lives there!! How lucky am I? Next time you go you must eat at Trotters its a little cafe just down from the Green Howards Museum. Its owned by the wife and son of the man whose garage we bought our car from! We went there a few weeks ago and I heard someone say the cheese and onion quiche is just out of the oven - so I had to have it - goodness me it was divine - mind you so is the Son!! Have you explored the area? you must go to Easby Abbey just the other side of Richmond. The kids will like it. They have great things on at the Castle in Richmond - check English Heritage site they have lots at weekends for kids. Until recently I added events to the NY Market Towns website so I knew loads of things going on in our county - then they pulled the funding for the events bit - I miss it. Gosh you were spookily near - and if I hadnt stomped off because of my hot sweats which were so unbearable Sat am (I went and sat in the garden with my little battery fan) - we would have been in Richmond market place at 11.30am. I get so cross when my family don't suffer from these sweats. They make my head sweat and my hair go flat - and its thinning and I hate it, moan , moan , moan. So we didn't go and I sorted out some more cupboards in my old workroom. Still 'cos of my mood I was ruthless and I was saying on my blog - we took six boxes of good stuff to Oxfam and didint even get a nod never mind a thank you. Right off I go to sort the washing out - night nightAlchamillamollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530018036194322467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-5965282891178535232007-10-15T12:47:00.000+01:002007-10-15T12:47:00.000+01:00Love history myself and couldn't think of a nicer ...Love history myself and couldn't think of a nicer day out than a visit to a castle.

I think we had a glut of castles in my daughter's first year at secondary school, she had to do a project on them over a half term and it seemed like we were doing a castle a day!<BR/>Kim xRagged Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339985100168927169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8308715619105248833.post-84146172957348608032007-10-15T07:53:00.000+01:002007-10-15T07:53:00.000+01:00I haven't been to Richmond, it sounds like a good ...I haven't been to Richmond, it sounds like a good place to try. I was at Peveril Castle on Saturday though, it was the finishing point of the walk I did up to the top of Mam Tor and then across Cow Fold to the castle. We're lucky in this country to have so many wonderful castles to visit.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
