The Helicopter Museum in Weston-super-Mare has you might expect a lot of helicopters on display. In the grounds though is a Bristol Bloodhound SAM.

I do like the Coffee #1 chain of coffee shops. The first one I ever went to was in Monmouth when I went there for lunch one day, when I was working in the Forest of Dean. More recently one has opened in Weston-super-Mare, where this photo was taken. I like the style of the decor and the coffee is pretty good too.
Gryffindor Dormitory and Common Room
The first time I went to the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour was in 2015, just after they had added the Hogwarts Express and Kings Cross set to the tour. At the end of November 2019 we made a return visit, mainly to see how different it was dressed for Christmas and with snow.
The Gryffindor dorm and common room were dressed for Christmas with a tree, decorations and presents.
Gryffindor is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was founded by Godric Gryffindor. Gryffindor instructed the Sorting Hat to choose students possessing characteristics he most valued, such as courage, chivalry, and determination, to be sorted into his house. The emblematic animal is a lion, and its colours are scarlet and gold.

The pillboxes were constructed to protect the airfield, RAF Weston-super-Mare, which was a Royal Air Force station on a civilian airfield in Weston-super-Mare. The civilian airfield was taken over by the RAF on the 1st May 1940 and would remain there until 1993.

Today I was in Leeds for the ALT Learning Spaces Special Interest Group. Some interesting presentations and a great workshop activity. Some really useful conversations as well.

I don’t travel too much for work. I have to stay overnight maybe once a
Month of that. When I do I prefer to stay in character hotels rather than bland chains. This was the first time I had booked the Haley’s Hotel. Rather nice on the outside and quite nice on the inside.
The Ministry of Magic
The first time I went to the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour was in 2015, just after they had added the Hogwarts Express and Kings Cross set to the tour. At the end of November 2019 we made a return visit, mainly to see how different it was dressed for Christmas and with snow.
The Ministry of Magic always looked huge on the big screen, all done via the clever use of CGI. However they did build some physical sets to complement the virtual ones.
Drawer #366photos2020
No matter how many times I tidy this drawer, it never looks tidy, It has a range of kitchen utensils and cooking equipment in there. Tongs, wok tools, roast holders, cheese graters, wooden spoons. I do keep my knives separate so they stay sharp.
Presents of Christmas Past #366photos2020
A present to one of my children from an earlier Christmas. Still played with now and then, but other newer toys are now at the forefront of their interest.
