Yesterday we headed up to Camridge to the Duxford Aviation museum, to look at the planes and also to watch the airshow. This was mainly for the benefit of our daughter who is aeroplane obsessed. The weather was glorious, and it was a most enjoyable day.

| Admiring the Lancaster |
These aircraft are just magnificent and breathtaking, it's to hard imagine that they can even get airborne.
My daughters favourite is the Lancaster bomber, she has been fascinated by aeroplanes since she was a baby, and has seen the Lancaster in flight a few times at our airshow in Southend, and screams in excitement she is so in awe of it!

Always a humbling experience to think about what these gentlemen have been through.
A very happy girl flying her inflatable plane who has now been named Bertie bomber.
Just before we came home I had a stroll and looked through the stalls and the bookshop, with the faint music of Vera Lynn and Gracie Fields playing in the background, such a fascinating and nostalgic time, we romanticise it, but must have been extremely hard.
I myself came away with with a small greetings card above, I have resisted these so far based on all the silly slogans, as they are so common now, so just a small traditional one for my kitchen wall will be fine.
Hope you all had a good weekend. x
