Our Anniversary...

Well, Martin and I have been married for four years now. Hard to believe, but true all the same. I think we have stayed married longer than most people thought we would.

Our actual anniversary was Thursday, and it was a good day. We both worked, and I drove in to Scunthorpe from Immingham to pick Martin up. Then we went on a date, which was a lot of fun. It had been a while. We had a Big Mac and fries, then went and watched "Pride and Prejudice." Fabulous burger, fabulous movie.

The real fun started on Friday night, when we drove to Bielby and camped out for a few nights. We were about 20 minutes away from York, and that's where we spent the day on Saturday. We wandered the open market in the Shambles, had cream tea at Betty's, and walked all around the city wall. York is still my favorite place to be.

We had a fantastic curry back at the campground, and an early night playing Rummy. After a rainy night, we woke to a sunny Yorkshire morning. We packed up the caravan and got on the road to fabulous Castle Howard. It's the home of the Howard family, and the current Earl of Carlisle & family. We spent quite a few hours wandering the house & grounds, and it was really incredible. The estate encompasses 10,000 acres and features the castle, private woodlands, extensive gardens, a chapel, a working farm and nursery, fountains, and they even have their own lake! When we figure out how to get the pictures on here you'll be bale to see all the cool stuff
