Stonehenge baby!

I was so excited to visit Stonehenge today. Having grown up seeing images and being caught up in the mystery and magic of the place... today was the day that I had been waiting for.  

As we crossed over into England the weather took a turn and we found ourselves driving through the countryside in very grey wet conditions. As the temperature dropped to -2 degrees, we faced sleety snow. This soon passed and upon arrival at Stonehenge we were merely inundated with steady rain. It was very much worth the rain and cold.

I would have liked to have spent more time there but it was just too wet, cold and gloomy. 

 P.S. I am wearing one of the beanies from Alison Tod Couture Millner, the fabulous hat store In Abergavenny I visited twice! £35 and totally worth it! Thanks to Phil’s mum for the awesome purchase. I love it!

Caerphilly Castle

Did someone say castle?

Yes, it’s another castle. Maybe they were right, maybe Australian’s do like old buildings!

I think this was my favourite so far. It looks as a castle should and it has a moat. Once a functioning castle, known for its historically significant architecture, it was constructed by Gilbert de Clare in the 13th century as part of his campaign to conquer Glamorgan and is the second largest castle in Britain.
