An interesting sign - wonder what it's all about | |
But we are almost ready to start our walk - what's holding us up? | |
Yes, a couple of stragglers coming out of the cafe where they have been swilling coffee - don't look very guilty | |
We head over to St Nicholas' church in Moreton | |
Where there are some magnificent engraved glass windows | |
Which replaced windows damaged in the war | |
And were cut in situ | |
Our path then takes us across a river - Mike having decided not to try and walk on water | |
Our Chairman poses on the bridge | |
Quite fast flowing | |
Bluebells still going strong | |
Our route takes us along a broad path, at first through trees | |
But soon over heathland | |
With gorse in bloom | |
And views now extending into the distance | |
Thanks for the memories | |
We reach the house of T E Lawrence - quite small | |
A quote from Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" | |
Garner of Arabia? | |
Upstairs | |
The guest room lined with aluminium foil to keep the damp out | |
The luxury of a bathroom | |
The academic side of Lawrence | |
We've visited on the week of the 80th anniversary of his death | |
We relax in the gardens as we wait for others to finish their tour | |
And after a look round head off along a woodland track | |
To the spot where he died in a motorcycle accident | |
Close by an area where the army exercise their little tanks | |
Now heading back along a rather damp track | |
Richard striding out purposely | |
To discover the 'grave' in the first picture | |
Thanks to Mike and Heather for finding an interesting walk to finish a much enjoyed holiday. |
