Easter travels

Everyone knows I love a holiday be it in the van or jollies abroad however this Easter we went on our hollybobs around the UK. We literally travelled from very far north to very far south in two weeks. We've all heard of Lands End to John O Groats now you have heard of ... Edinburgh to Croydon!! Oh yes everyone will be doing it soon!!!

So Croydon, well the only reason we went there was because it was Jessica's 16th birthday party. I remember when she was born, I was at an under age rave at Blackheath Concert Halls! 16 years later I'm old and she is 16!!! Times really does fly!

As we progress north we spent Easter bank holiday weekend in Harrogate. It was very cold but we had a great time. We went to Van Zeller on the company as Daniel got given a meal out as a bonus, so obviously we wanted to get every penny out of it and went to an award winning fine dining restaurant! We also tried to go to Betty's but the line was so long we were too hungry and cold to wait! The guest house owner was a little eccentric though it was a lovely touch to hide a cadbury's cream egg for everyone under their coffee cups at breakfast.

Then we went up to Edinburgh, now to be fair this wasn't a holiday for Daniel as he was working, I on the other hand went along to keep him company. We visited Jamie's Italian for dinner which was yummy and I spent the day as a classic tourist sight seeing. On my list of places visited were: Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, Hollyrood Palace and Scottish Parliament and finally Prices Street. We even came home with some original Scottish shortbread!

Even though I love holidays and rarely get homesick needless to say I was pleased to spend some quality time in our humble abode by the end of the Easter break!
