Richmond

Richmond is one of my favourite places, anywhere in the world. It is in North Yorkshire, England and is another typical market town with its cobbled market square.

The lovely old King's Head Hotel, one of the few places I have lived and worked. A place where I was part of the team catering for the banquet in honour of the King of Norway as he opened the Green Howard's regimental museum opposite the hotel. I was in charge of caviar!

Hidden treasures everywhere in this ancient town

Secret courtyards and alleyways

The magnificent River Swale thundering over the waterfalls below the town.

The former railway station which os now a fantastic cinema and arts centre.

Richmiond Castle, a real castle with towers and dungeons, I have spent hours as a chils and as an adult wandering around its turrets and walls, imagining the enemy below under fire from bows and arrows and crossbows. an adventure playground!
