Helmsley Castle four years later

Yesterday, we went back to Helmsley Castle, the site of our first kiss! It was so much fun to see the castle and the surrounding village (in the daylight); and it was amazing to have Ellie with us, reminding us just how much has changed in four short years!

Unfortunately, the batteries in the camera died before we got pictures of everything, but we got plenty to document my delicious ice cream cone. ;-)


Here's our original route into the castle (we both think the wall was much higher four years ago!)
