Another day - another castle

On April 8th we started our trip back to Leeds. We woke early, had a bit of breakfast, packed up our "stuff", loaded the cars and headed out. We stopped in Edinburgh and had a proper English breakfast (veg) consisting of eggs, toast, haggis, tomatoes, potato scone, corn cake and tea. After breakfast we started home. Along the way, surprise - We visited another castle, Bamburgh castle. This castle is still lived in and has 14 apartments which are available/occupied. This castle is privately owned and is a showplace for the family treasures for many generations and was not really a defensive castle in English history. We took a leisurely walk thru the parts that were open. Went down to the stables and the kid had a play in the stalls. We then loaded back into the car and continued the drive back to Leeds.
