Where did the Lazy Wench Go?

The Lazy Wench went to many interesting places in Northern England on the HNG tour. Here's the list, not at all in order. To add to the confusion, she went to some places twice! Not all of these places feature embroidery, but many of them had very fine examples, some were hands on opportunities and some wouldn't allow any pictures at all.
