This morning we explored Lytham before moving on to Scotland and finding Caerlaverock Castle, which was absolutely wonderful!! For our accommodation we found Balbeg, a magnificent old hunting lodge on the Wolsey Lodge list, just south of Straiton. Dinner was at the Black Boar Inn, Straiton

Today we managed to explore Lawrenny (where my Welsh ancestors came from) and three wonderful castles in Wales (Carew, Cardiff, and Caerphilly) before heading up to Lytham in Lancashire - the town where mum's grandfather came from.

Today we explored Corfe Castle - wonderful ruins. We also went to Long Sutton and found the church where so many of my ancestors were baptised, married and buried. We had dinner at "Steaks", a restaurant in Newport.

This morning we picked up our hire car and drove to Brighton via Dover Castle, Hastings, Rye and Pevensey. We had a pub dinner at Brighton.

Today was quite a busy day. We went to the Greater London Record Office where we found baptism records for some of Tom's Price family. We also saw Westpac House and the Old Bailey. We went down into the London Vaults where all the silversmiths are. This afternoon Tom went to the British Museum while I went St George's at Hanover Square - made famous by My Fair Lady, but also where two of Tom's ancestors were married.
