St. Alban's

We have fallen in love with Annabel's town, St. Albans. We've spent the last few days here with her and it seems to offer everything lovely about a smaller English city. It was once the Roman town Verulamium and is supposed to be the oldest continuous settlement in Britain. It has some remnants of the Roman walls, lovely old pubs, narrow winding streets and little crickleways (small passages from one street to another), cobbled roads, etc. The river Ver runs through it, which is covered with ducks and swans and surrounded with green parks. We ate at the Waffle House beside the river and had the most fantastic savoury waffles ever. We will definitely be spending more time here, and pictures will come soon.
