if I have to and apparently I have to have almost 7 weeks off work I need to do summat where I can enjoy the beauty of England and possibly Wales. My first port of call should be my beloved Dudley castle this week ~ my second favourite castle in the world ~ are there any suggestions of more places that may be of interest to me or where I could go ~ if nothing else it keeps me offa here :~} |
