Of course our visit to Big H had to begin with a visit to his local....
..... and then a walk around his beautiful home village of Southwell....
.... to see the 900 year old Minster....
We completely took over his little house. A graceful and wonderfully generous host.
Need I say that this will be the LAST AIR MUSEUM that I want to include in our trip?!!!
(although this sign is one that I'd like to replicate in my home!!!)....


I'm a saint. Well, an Air Museum visiting Mum kind of saint. Truly.
So we then opted for a bit of a "cultural" afternoon and visited nearby Newstead Abbey (click here for more info) which was the ancestral home of Lord Byron. We were too late to get inside the house, but spent a couple of hours wandering in the spectacular gardens.
