Those crazy Romans decided to build a defensive wall which was 80 Roman miles long. I think our fave part was checking out the communal toilets. You know the bench-like seating covering multiple holes? Made it so easy to have a chat about your day whilst doing your business. The Romans I mean, not us.

Mr P. and I walked many many wet and squelchy miles all around the UK. Ah the memories! We stayed in the local Youth Hostel at Once Brewed, also known as Twice Brewed (yeah, what the?!?). And the next day headed down the map to the town of Beer in Devon, where we enjoyed local blackberry wine made by the publican. I could go a glass of that right now.

DeleteOh, I love visiting parts of Hadrian's Wall. I've never heard of Beer in Devon. We spent many months there in 2010 as Anthony's Aunt lives there. Next time!
ReplyDeleteisn't it a great name for a town? especially after having been in Once Brewed.
DeleteThat brings back memories Sherry. For both of us. I like your pants by the way!
ReplyDeleteThanks tania. :)
DeleteLove the trousers Sherry! You brave lady, sharing your photo with the world. There's nothing like a communal toilet to hook up with friends (and probably make a few too).
