Coventry Transport Museum

This place was amazing. Easily the best transport museum we have visited and we are so lucky that it is on our doorstep really! We went specifically to see the T16, but we were so excited by the other old Peugeots! We did get some funny looks when we started squealing at the 306 and 206sw, but we didn't care. It is definitely worth a visit and we will be paying another visit for sure!

The National Gas Museum

As part of my camera club summer programme, we spent the evening at the National Gas Museum on Aylestone Road, Leicester. It was a beautiful evening, threatening thunderstorms but we had a good nosy at the exhibits inside before pressing on to the local pub!

A Day in the City

Today we took a trip into our local city. Having moved out to the sticks, we don't have much time to pop to Leicester as it isn't as convenient as it used to be so today, we thought we would make the most of it.

We visited the Highcross Shopping Centre to spend some of our Christmas/Birthday money. A book for me, a weather experiment kit for the Bee.

We nipped in to Bru for a delicious hot chocolate, and someone insisted on having his photo taken 'laying' against this wall with New Walk in the background...

We walked to the other side of town to New Walk Museum, seeing the sights of Leicester on the way. We studied photographs of India, marveled over the Picasso face plates and had fun making our own art for the childrens exhibition.

At 4pm, we had a date at Peter Pizzeria for a school friends birthday party.

And of course, we didn't want to be left out, so we brought two pizzas home for supper!
