Fritchley 15 wks (29/10)

Today we drove up from London to the small village of Fritchley, just North of the city Derby.

My Great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great great granddad Richard Fritchley was from there, so we thought it would be cool to check out.






This is the family at the local pub the 'Red Lion'...
















Mum outside the post office... There's only a pub, the post office and houses in Fritchley, very small.












Fritchley Cottage











That night we stayed in a village called Matlock, a very pretty wee town about 10m north of Fritchley... we found a nice B & B in town...

The next day, on our way back to London town, we stopped at the Cossall church to check out the Fritchley grave stones... Great.... great Granddad Richard Fritchely wrote on his head stone "Praises written on tombs are trifles iddly spent, a mans good deeds are his best monument"... This guy was wise! He passed away in 1795... a very long time ago...

Bath 15 wks (28/10)

After seeing Stonehenge we drove further west (toward Divizies), we checked out the white horse that had been carved into the side of the hill, this was posibble because the hill was formed from chalk, seriously it was about 10 rugby feilds big... sorry forgot to take a photo...

We continued on to Bath, this is me out side the very ornate Bath Abbey.







A very styley street in Bath and me in the historical bath house.
