England 2020: Day 4 (Salisbury to London to Nottingham/Ruddington)

 From Salisbury, back to London, to Paddington Station. 
 Paddington to Nottingham.
 We stayed in the historic Lace Market District.


The view from the stairs by our room on the third floor--and the lift was not working...
St. Mary's (right outside our hotel window).

 This is St. Peter's, in Ruddington (a village just south of Nottingham). B.'s parents were married here in 1946.

















The Framework Knitters' Museum (in Ruddington). So charming, so informative...


 These are the machines...they were knitting stockings, for the most part (and later developed techniques to make lace). These machines make quite a racket...and there were 50 of them in the room at one time.







 The best day: our 35th wedding anniversary!

Great pics! I have to say, it seems not so very long ago that you celebrated 25 years. Congrats on your fortitude and enduring love!
