Trip to Camulodunum

On Saturday Robyn and I went to Colchester with Robin and Jonathan (Robyn's betrothed friends). We went to a quaint teashop/resturant (twice), the Natural History Musem, the Castle and the old priory. The castle was actually a museum and it was easy to forget one was in a Norman castle. Also Roman mosaics remained, displayed on the walls. We all walked down the narrow winding medieval streets, with the gloamy sky ever-threatening rain. But it didn't rain. And of course no trip to a historic city would be complete without visiting 'ye olde' Wilkinsons.
The old priory.

Thy maid doth speak no folly. Hark thou art prudent to observe sweet Lydia my Austenian dialect. In the addition of my whimsical writings I doth detest scribblings in tomes for the common man such as 'The Sun' and 'The Daily Mirror' papers of news. They doth proceed use vulgarness such as 'to wed' and 'hitched'. My endeavours to avoid these beastly phrases did prey inspire me to to annouce Mr Jonathan and Miss Robins engagment as bethrothed.

p.s Do you want Mr Darcys cellphone number?
