Nick and I enjoyed another weekend away in Rockingham. We like the Best Western Hotel there and just love the surrounding countryside. We were very lucky this time; DH has a loyalty card so we had a free upgrade :)
On Saturday it was very foggy; we drove around looking at some historical places although they weren't open due to it being winter season.

| Eleanor Cross |
This cross is one of 12, it's at Geddington. They were built as a memorial to Edward I's wife and there is one in every place her body rested overnight on it's way back to London. This is the full story - Eleanor Crosses

| Triangular Lodge |
You can't see too well from this photo but this lodge was built in the shape of a triangle. It's owned by English Heritage.

| Market Harborough Grammar School |
 |
| Typical English Ford |
These two pictures show just how English and quaint the area is. I feel so at home in the area and just love all the villages. Rutland is truely a beautiful place.
I have been stitching on a piece for Christmas - it's coming along really well, hopefully it will be finished soon. The stitch club at school are also doing well and hopefully soon I'll have some photos of their finished work.

| Christmas Stitching |
On a down note I am suffering with my MS - I am not walking very well, have pain in my left arm and feel very tired. I have contatced the MS nurse so we'll see what she suggests. I've taken today off school to have some rest - at least I can blog, chat and stitch :)
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends x x
