Brilliant, Sue! I'm glad you enjoyed your day! I live not too far away from Crich & the Tramway museum is always worth a visit! I went to a 1940's weekend event at Crich a few years ago, & loved it, especially the Spitfire fly past by the Battle of Britain memorial flight! :D

The Spitfire fly past was brilliant, Sue! It was definitely the highlight of the day for me. It's a pity the one you saw at Crich doesn't fly. I think that would've made your day if it did! :D

I went to Bodiam Castle in East Sussex today. It's a ruined medievel castle which is really famous and photogenic. It was a lovely day so I had a very nice time clambering around the ruins. :D

It reminds me a bit of Malory Towers, John. I've been there a couple of times recently.
