A Short Holiday in the UK: first stop Warrick University & Chester

The last time we landed in Heathrow was 2 decades ago when we went to Wales
to bring our two little grandchildren home to the Land Below The Wind. This
time it was to visit them during their Easter term break and to enjoy a short
holiday with them.

After an overnight stay at Heathrow we picked up the car rental and headed off
to fetch our granddaughter before heading off to Chester.

Warrick University has lovely grounds which are seeing the first blooms of Spring!
The gorgeous Daffodils were everywhere!!



We arrived at Chester in good time and located our B & B. It was a quaint corner
house with a few bedrooms to let and breakfast was provided.

The decor was very pleasant, although the stairs were steep and narrow, typical of English houses.



Chester is an old town with remnants of the Roman Wall still standing and well
maintained.

We walked about the town area and saw many interesting features.
