I love to travel and have been lucky enough to see a few parts of the world. Here are some of the places I have been to.

Visit to Portchester Castle (England), May 2025

Portchester Castle in Fareham, Hampshire, is located on the south coast of England. The castle began life as a Roman "Saxon Shore" fort built to defend the coast of Britannia, and it still retains much of its Roman defences. 


The castle used to house prisoners of war during the Napoleonic wars, including around 2,000 African-Caribbean soldiers captured during  fighting on St Lucia in the late 1700s

The new city Metro system looks pretty efficient, and I travelled on it between Newcastle city centre and Sunderland and Newcastle city centre and the airport.


I even managed to complete the Newcastle Central to Civic walk, taking in some of the city's sites, including the Stephenson Monument,

Visit to York City, January 2025

York is a cathedral city in North Yorkshire, England, with Roman origins. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss and has several historic buildings, such as a minster, castle, and city walls.


The photos show part of the York city walls and The Shambles a street of preserved medieval buildings in York. 

I had planned to walk the York City Walls, unfortunately they were closed due to the weather. But spent a pleasant day taking in the city.

The National Railway Museum in York, where you can explore the past, present and future of the railways.
