Old Gainsborugh Hall







Caught the train out to Gainsborough, the have a old house that was built in ... wait for it... 1480
a wonderful old house. of the old nobility who was trying to impress the King. that's Richard 3 .
Richard 3 died in battle Bossworth field in 1488 to Edward 7
the house is really well preserved with kitchen and pantry , ( photos will be coming shortly) well worth the £4.00 for entry.
Gainsborough's was nice a enough to have market on Tuesday for me , i found another CD of Queens that I didn't have.
I had a Cornish pastry for lunch. Cornish pastry is like a stew inside a pastry. a really thick meat patotoes and carrots etc.
it was a wonderful sunny day , just some what cold. yes there was lots of snow the other day, i am sure that you have heard. some of it melted today some of it turned to ice. walking down the steep hills of Lincoln was not my idea of a good time. it looks like that trains are running in the smaller towns.
not sure what London is like today.
