Spring is on it's way. The daffodils are coming into bloom and the curlews and lapwings have returned to the Pennine moors. Such a wondrous sight to see them dipping and diving and the call of the curlew is sorrowful and inspiring.
Warwick is a beautiful town. Three gateways into the town remain. I visited The Church of St Mary's which was steeped in history.

| Dramatic. The gateway is narrow for defense purposes |
Beautiful old regimental flags in the church.

Down in the crypt was an ancient form of torture, a ducking stool.

The tomb of Thomas Beauchamp is situated near the high altar. It is a good example of fourteenth century fashion.

Richard Beauchamp's tomb was closed for restoration but you could just catch a glimpse. He was one of the richest and most powerful people in the history of England.
 |
| Amazing structure |
The ceiling of a side chapel.
 |
| Beautiful patterns |
I also visited Hill Close Gardens. These allotment gardens date back to Victorian times. There was a variety of summer houses all on a different theme.
Superb old implements.
 |
| Has anyone seen where I put my fork? |
Furnished from a time gone by.
 |
| Rest easy |
Chickens rule OK.
 |
| Cluck |
A lovely old glass cloche.

| A cloche looking for a plant |
Wooden wonder.
 |
| Has anyone seen any spare driftwood? |
The glasshouse were at the entrance to the allotments. There was a wide selection of snowdrops.

| Lovely glasshouses |
