Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester Museum, and Manchester
Despite myself having lived in Manchester for 3 years, and Helen having worked there for 4 years, it’d been a very long time since either of us visited either the museum or gallery on Oxford Road, so today we took a trip as tourists.
Conwy Castle, Conwy, and Plas Mawr Elizabethan Town House
Left alone with Helen in London again, today’s day out started with another drive in to North Wales. The weather wasn’t as great as it had been recently and it started raining just as I arrived in Conwy, the problem was: it was still too warm for a coat! Anyway, I parked up and headed for the castle.
National Slate Museum, Dolbadarn Castle, and Llanberis
Out of Caernarfon, I drove West to the small village of Llanberis, here I wanted to visit the National Slate Museum which I’d visited in Primary School about 20 years ago, and Dolbadarn Castle, which I’ve never visited before.
Caernarfon Castle, The Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum, and Caernarfon
Helen went to visit a friend in London today, so I was left to my own devices to adventure alone. I decided to drive to North-West Wales and visit one of my favourite castles: Caernarfon. After dropping Helen off at the station first thing, I got straight on the motorway, and drove exactly 100 miles before finding myself looking up at the walls of the castle.
