No 83 Nottingham Castle

*As you read this I'll be pootling along somewhere to/in/from Scotland! I'm away for the month of August but shall endeavour to keep in touch (tweet/read and reply to comments) as often as I am able. Thank you for popping by!* 

The view that greets you as you walk through the 'gates'

Another post in which I act as tourist (/host to my parents) in the city I live. Last weekend Moom, Dodge and I visited Nottingham Castle (whilst the boy stayed in bed. And stayed in bed. And stayed in bed). The weather was a little blowy and the sun, well, a little less sunny, but the gardens were still just as pretty as I'm sure they normally are, and the Castle just as interesting. It's a museum/art gallery on the inside, housing stories of Nottingham's history and Robin hood, as well as Greek (and other) artefacts. An eclectic mix, if you will.

A pretty external shot

The oddest/most entertaining of rooms in the history of rooms in a castle

The best wish, by far, on the wishing tree

Looking out towards the university

After the visit we walked back home in preparation for my Sunday roast. After stuffing ourselves with said standard fare, the parents packed up the last of their bits and left for the journey home. The boy and I then spent the evening watching Harry Potter (Deathly Hallows Pt 1, in case you're interested). 

Oh, and looking at this beautiful sky!
