We left the hotel at 9am, arrived at Beamish - near Durham, at 9.45am. Already the queues were forming. We were fast tracked through the pre-paid lane and off we went.
Fast forward to 4.30pm, 20 weary women climbed aboard the coach for the return journey.
I can not begin to tell you how wonderful Beamish is, so have a look on their website and visit if you can. http://www.beamish.org.uk/
We were privileged to have a private viewing of a very small part of their collection of North country quilts.
