The Relies

Durham, what a county, what people & what attractions. After a reunion lunch at our hotel it has been nonstop,poor Browny hasn;t walked so far for ages.
At the reunion, people met for the first time while others caught up after years apart. Now we have visited some attractions including Beamish moseum with its old English village, farm house & miners village with restored miners cottages.
Here the memories flooded back, We walked into 1 cottage where a woman was making a rug using old cut up rag, this took me back to a young age when Mum & Grandmother always had a frame set up and at any oppertunity they would work on it.
To Brandon & Ferry Hill with its family history, to see the house where Mum lived before mugating to Australia. To Durham with its Castle & magnificentCathedral. The Cathedral defies description, over 1000 years old. Towers that reach for the sky, a roof that is at least50 feet above you held up by ornate pollars, its carvings &The wondrous memrobillia of Cuthbert, I could go on but finally to say the spiritual feeling & the awe it brings affected Browny. The one disappointment was no Photos.
There have been Meals with relations which became other reunions.
