Unfortunately David and Allison's son had to have some emergency surgery done. His Mom went to the hospital to be there with him. Poor David! This situation left him to entertain us - we could have done that on our own - but we had some amazing adventures under his guidance!
We began our day of adventures.....
.... with a ride in David's car.....if you recall... the driver sits on the opposite side of the car in the UK - so the person waving is ME! What a blast - we went fast and it was way tooooo fun!
This is David's Volvo - yes - it is his "everyday" car! He has several others!
Then David took us for a tour of the village. The sights there were just as wonderful as all those on the previous part of our holiday. This is the local graveyard, and as you can see - a lot of the graves date back to centures ago! I would have stopped to read them all, but the men weren't interested in doing that!
I tried to get a nice closeup shot of the church - but it is kinda blurry.
Here it is from further back - again not the best photo I've ever taken, but it is beautiful! It must have been the lighting - see Poppa shading his eyes against the sun? So, for all you folks who said it always rains in England - here is proof that the sun shines there too!
A picture of the two Jags (his and hers) parked side-by-side in the driveway!
In this photo you can see the graveyard and the village school in the background - another lovely building!
This little sign is located at the end of David's street - welcoming people to the village. The weather, as you can see, was delightful as was the chance to stroll leisurely (after hurrying around for a few days) and the opportunity to see some delightful old architecturally intriguing buildings.
We began our day of adventures.....
I do hope David and Allison's son came through surgery fine.
ReplyDeleteI did some more research on Rangemore. What a beautiful place with such an extensive history. I love your photos!
