Another Bank Holiday = Another trip out :o)

So August bank holiday and for us that means another chance to escape for a few days.  Phil's favourite airplane has always been the Mosquito so we took the chance to visit the DeHavilland Museum.  As always we have to break the journey on the way down as I can't manage too long in one position so we look out for more Wetherspoons to add to the list and take advantage of their low priced teas and coffees (and sometimes bacon butties!)

The Hart & Spool, Borehamwood

Another amazing find, this is where we had tea (do love their steak & kidney pud!)

Waterend Barn, St Albans - actually two barns moved and re-erected at different times :o) 

The Bell, Aylesbury

and The White Hart, Aylesbury (Really liked the image in the hanging sign

hence second photo 

The Cordwainer, Northampton

The Moon on the Square, Northampton

The Sugar Loaf, Market Harborough

We had an overnight stay in a car-park in Great Missenden (one reason we manage to travel around when we do get chance is due to not stopping on campsites and using the money we save from that on diesel instead) and then on the Monday paid a visit to Obsidian Art in Stoke Mandeville just outside Aylesbury.  There was an exhibition on by many of my favourite artists : Hannah Willow; Wendy Andrews; and Jaine Rose amongst others.  A lovely little gallery with some beautiful works of art - I left with three greetings cards which I shall frame and covet until I can afford some larger pieces.

Our rest-stop on the way home was Eyebrook Reservoir, we had lovely views across the water and were treated to huge flocks of geese flying in.  In the morning we could see that there were also ducks, swans and egrets.
