Trips and travels

During the winter months I always like to research places I would love to visit either as a first time vistor or as a happy revisit to explore an area further. As many of you know I love a place that is rich in folklore and history. This year hasn't been a particularly great year for fun! But it hasn't stopped me researching online and making a list of what I fancy doing when life starts to get back to some resemblement of normality. Whatever that is? lol! So over the next coming weeks I will share my finds on here. Maybe fingers crossed next year we will all get to do some real adventure outdoors in which case we will all have our special lists at the ready! Keep safe and healthy everyone.  Kat 😊

The Trial of the Lancashire Witches

The Trial of the Lancashire Witches I just completed a Future Learn course on Lancaster Castle and Northern England History certificated by Lancaster University. The course travelled through time from Roman times,  medieval to present day and covered many subjects one of which was the famous Pendle Witch trials. Please watch this video for more information on the Pendle witches.  Press on highlighted heading to visit video
