Big H!!!!

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.
