Tower of London

In the late 1970s when John and I first visited England we toured the Tower of London. We've returned to the city many times since and until this year never considered a repeat performance. John, however, suggested we do it this time around and I am ever so glad he did. Like many things (us, wine, to name a few) the tower exhibits have improved (and expanded) with age.

Wymondham Abbey

Wymondham is also home to Wymondham Abbey and its angel roof. I first read about it after our 2016 East Anglia visit and upon our return to housesit in Attleborough this year, we were determined to check it out for ourselves. 

Wymondham, UK

Not far from Attleborough is the market town of Wymondham (pronounced Wind-um) and we were fortunate to visit on a sunny, albeit cold Tuesday afternoon. Getting there was easy via a 9-minute train ride from Attleborough.

Ely Cathedral

Last time we visited Ely Cathedral was in May 2016 and during our current housesit in Attleborough we made certain to return as Ely Cathedral is one of our favourites.

King's College Chapel, Cambridge, UK

Our last trip to Cambridge in 2016 coincided with college exams which meant King's College Chapel was not open to visitors. Earlier this week we returned to Cambridge via train from Attleborough with one goal in mind - to cross King's College Chapel off our list!

Xmas 2017 & A New Year With Gorgeous George

While much of Canada dealt with record breaking low temperatures and lake affect snow squalls during the holiday season we hunkered down in Attleborough, Norfolk, England with Gorgeous George.
