For last week's Sunday Snap we had a view of a council car park. However this is the car park that a king of England was found buried under! I asked which king this was and the answer was
Richard III
Getting parked in a perfect
position with the right answer were Susan,
Nichola, Stephen,
Jen and Kara.
Last week Mr JibberJabberUK
and I took a trip down memory lane and visited our old university
city. In the 19 years since we were students there many things have
changed but there's still a lot that still looks the way it was in
1997. Still standing is the medieval Bargate which has been a feature
of this south coast city since the 12th century. It was
originally designed to be one of the gateways into the city but the
upper rooms over the years have been used as a guildhall and a
prison.
Somewhat amazingly this now
Grade I listed has faced demolition three times in the last 117
years. As the city has grown and got busier the arches in the Bargate
have proved problematic for both vehicles and the trams that used to
run down this road. In order to remedy this problem the Bargate was
separated from the ancient city walls in the 1930s and a road was
laid running down the side of it. Today it is used as a museum and
exhibition space. This week's question is
What city is the Bargate
in?
We were joined last week by
Jack
and Noah who were celebrating Mother's Day. Joanna
has been keeping an eye on the time in Edinburgh. There was fun in
the balls for Susan's
daughter. Burning the Chelsea candles was Kelly.
Kara
was loving the beach in winter and keeping
an eye on things in the playground. Over in New Zealand Betty
has been capturing a panoramic view.

I'll
share my favourites with you next week and remember I do like a bit
of a tale to go with a photo but it's not a necessity!
I think it's Southhampton, but not 100%. Such a lovely building. Have a good week xx
