Welcome to another month of the 30 Minutes in the Life blog circle!

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Cardiff to watch London Welsh rugby club play Cardiff. We decided to make a weekend of it, by staying overnight and heading to Cardiff Castle the following morning.

30 Minutes in the Life – March 2020 | Portchester Castle

Ceri-Herd-Photography-Portchester-Castle

These times are tough the whole world over, but rather than dwell on the present, I want to look back just a few weeks to when life was…normal.

March is my birthday month! As a gift, I asked for a day trip. I didn’t mind where, I just wanted to have a day that let me focus on my hobby. I wanted to be able to document the day, and that was all. I’m (relatively) easily pleased!

The littlest member of our family has been studying the Romans at school this term, so a visit to Portchester Castle seemed like the perfect choice!

Portchester Castle stands in a commanding position at the north end of Portsmouth Harbour. The Romans built a huge fort here, which remains the best preserved Roman fort north of the Alps. After the Norman Conquest a castle was built in one corner of the fort, which grew into an impressive royal residence. From 1665 Portchester was frequently used to house foreign prisoners of war, most notably during the wars with France between 1793 and 1815. [from the English Heritage website].

Hope you enjoy my images this month. Sorry for the long scroll……..!
