A man’s home is his Castle by Motorhome
Alnick Castle
Thomas Percy 7th Earl of Northumberland (1557-1572):
Thomas Percy succeeded his uncle at Alnick
He was appointed Warden by Queen Elizabeth I
He remained Catholic and she was none too pleased
Due to her treatment he resigned as Lord Warden
He became involved in a plot
To place Mary Queen of Scots on the throne
He was betrayed by the Earl of Moray
Elizabeth payed a large sum for Thomas’ release
She had him taken to York where he was beheaded
Bamburgh Castle
In 1610 King James 1 gifted the castle to one of the workers
Ever the generous Scot!
Ending several hundred years of royal ownership
Lindisfarne
The Motorhomers were having a complex discussion;
‘Ok, Francie, let me jist ingest this intae my no’ too inconsiderable noggin
Ye’re tellin’ me that ye met this lovely wee time-share guy oan the Costo Brava
Francie, tell me this, ye had a’ thae smashin’ places tae pick from
Whit made ye take this yin?’
‘Josie, the lovely wee guy told me that it wis a lovely wee cottage by the sea’
‘Whit wis this lovely wee punter’s name, Francie?’
‘His name wis Mister Baggins, Josie’
‘His first name wisnae Bilbo, Francie, wis it?’
‘Sure, Josie, sure, Josie’
Perhaps you would enjoy reading the adventures of Francie and Josie.
