Our trip to New England - October 2004

with "Britain Before You....and Beyond, Ltd." run by Ann Seamans and Diana

The start of our trip to New England - October 2004 with "Britain Before You....and Beyond, Ltd."

Staying at historic country inns - fabulous home cooked meals

Concord, Massachusetts - wonderful antiuque shops and beautiful church. Standing on the bridge where the "First" shots of the civil war were fired to stop the British troops reaching the town.

Impressions as we travelled along from Boston to Burlington, Vermont. Beautiful autumn colours, ski slopes, woods, mountains and quiet highways. We stopped at Quechee Gorge on the way.

Travelling from Burlington to Franconia - passed a very long covered bridge at Bath. Note the people carriers used by Ann and Diana for these tours. Very comfortable and all the stops tailored for your group.

The covered bridge by Squam Lake - of "On Golden Pond" fame!

From Squam Lake we headed for the most famous of quilt shops - Keepsake Quilting. What a day!

Approaching the White Mountains in New Hampshire - staying at The Franconia Inn. Autumn colours just stunning here.

Ann arranged for us to meet various quilting groups during our trip. Here with The Franconian Quilters and their Show & Tell. We heard stories of bears, moose, and wolves howling in their back gardens - plus 30' snow in the winter!!!
