Visitors from across the pond II

At long last we’ve met our American friends, Dick and Barb.  And the 4 days we’ve spent together were super.  We ate and drank too much, including afternoon tea using my mum’s tea set and visited several of our local historical sites including Hadrian’s Wall and Housesteads, Carlisle Castle and Cathedral  and Tullie House.  Barb discovered that her ancestors were from old Border Reiver families and so became the butt of our jokes about outlaws, thieves and vagabonds.
We were all particularly enthused by the quality of the new Reivers exhibition and  thoroughly enjoyed the Roman Gallery at Tullie House
