We're heading north for a little while.
First stop, Lancaster – the site of the execution of the Pendle Witches.
Then on to Edinburgh, one of my favourite heritage cities and home to one of my favourite museums, the National Museum of Scotland. I think it holds a special place because I first visited on a Manchester University field trip as an undergraduate.
After that, the Cairngorms...
And then...
ORKNEY!!!
I can hardly believe we're finally going to Skara Brae, the prehistoric village that's been on my archaeology wish list for years.
On the way home we'll wander through Northumberland – Holy Island, the Farne Islands, perhaps a detour to Vindolanda, and hopefully a visit to my favourite Antony Gormley sculpture.
A week of landscapes, stories, archaeology and making memories with my boys and some time with Shakira and Jim too.
See you in September.
