eledonecirrhosa Brother #2 and a couple of friends came down from the frozen north to the blisteringly hot south for Tankfest 2019. www.tankmuseum.org/whats-on/events/tankfest Much tank related goodness. I've been to Bovington Tank Museum about half a dozen times, and it is cool. But doing it while Tankfest with all its bells and whistles, arena displays, and re-enactors is just amazing. Highlights were the Vehicle Conservation centre being open to wander around, chatting to organisers/crew in the tank park, watching Brother#2 geek out about rare armour, and watching the arena displays.
Silly signs on the way: as well as the traditional "Monkey World Tank Museum" one, I was intrigued by the country pub which offered "Gluten free en suite". I can proudly say that my own bathroom is gluten free.
And then there were the statues of badgers on a roundabout... which someone had added antennae and little yellow and black stripy jackets to, to turn them into bee-badgers!
A few weeks prior to that I did my tour of Scotland, visiting Aberdeen, Arbroath, Dundee and Perth to see various friends, relatives and visitor attractions. I would heartily recommend the video games exhibition at the V&A in Dundee, and the Falkirk Wheel is interesting (boat lift to get barges up a cliff). We also did a detour to see The Kelpies (giant sculptures).

In between there was lots of geeky chat with friends and Brothers ~1 and #2. And I got to see Mum's choir singing Bohemian Rhapsody!!!
