On the way back from our recent escapades in Hastings, the other half and I took a detour on the way back to London to the historic town of Battle, site of the Battle of Hastings, 1066.
With a history spanning well over a thousand years, the UK is a goldmine of castles, stately homes, roman ruins, luscious gardens and ye olde monuments. And it is so important to preserve them. I have friends who have lived in London for years and never been to Westminster Abbey, who have never been to the Tower of London, who don’t appreciate the fascinating stories that these places tell (stories that are often much juicier than anything Hollyoaks or Gossip Girl can muster)
There is a very good reason that this city and country attracts millions and millions of tourists every year – and I can tell you it’s not just the Duchess of Cornwall’s wedding dress. I can’t wait to use my new membership (a couple membership… eek!) to explore more of what this amazing country has to offer.
