Enjoyed a culinary and cultural summer holiday around the UK. Dined at Tom
Kerridge's restaurant in Marlow and Raymond Blanc's restaurant near
Oxford.
Visited Bletchley Park and then travelled to the
Scottish Borders to see Dryburgh Abbey
and Melrose Abbey and finished our trip in Edinburgh with a tour of the
Murrayfield Stadium.
