I could just imagine Cromwell enjoying his repast while plotting all the time about what would happen next. It was such a good touch that you showed the wildflowers blooming and the way the land beyond the ruins looked ... that is what made it feel like I was along for the tour, because I would notice that too.... so much more personal. Your last sentence perfect,y summed up my feelings when viewing (the many) reminders of sad history.

Yes indeed, human nature has not ever changed. I can see this must have been quite an amazing piece of history to view. I am happy to have seen it through your "eyes" today :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-85877984336322638882016-10-20T10:35:34.229-07:002016-10-20T10:35:34.229-07:00Fabulous photos!!Fabulous photos!!frayed at the edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600298433343203269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-25416731842549332016-10-19T16:34:52.000-07:002016-10-19T16:34:52.000-07:00A beautiful place with a sad history!

The English countryside does hold many secrets and adventures. I hope you are able to weave some of your English adventures and knowledge into your school lessons. Beautiful photos.
