Bolsover

bolsover castleToday we went to Bolsover Castle. It is only two villages away, so of course, we haven’t been there in the six years since we moved here. Signed up for family membership to English Heritage while we were there (15 months for the price of 12).
bolsover castle treeHigh point for Big was the tree, which is a very large tree indeed. I am ashamed to say I didn’t notice what brand of tree it was. That is the trouble with trees, they don’t have labels on the outside like chavwear so you are never sure what they are, unless an apple falls on your head.
