Snapshots: Hadrian's Wall Path

My daily routine is pretty simple these days:
After a full English cooked breakfast, continue walking east across England, following the line of Hadrian's (Roman) Wall. If available, stop at a tearoom for a pot of tea and cake. At the end of the afternoon arrive at a comfortable bed and breakfast or inn for the night.
Two friends have joined the expedition for a few days. Our friendships total almost 100 years.
We may be a little creaky, but we love to walk together through this beautiful countryside.
Along the way, we stopped to look at remains of ancient structures: turrets, milecastles, a temple, and forts.
Temple to Mithras, god of the sun.
Bath house, Housesteads Fort.
Mile markers.
As well as a walk through Roman Britain this is a walk through rural Britain.
At the end of each day's walk, beer, dinner, and beds with crisp sheets awaited us.
