Remember Us!
It's been quite difficult to do anything with all the lockdowns. We managed to get one Opus trip in between lockdown 1 and lockdown 2, plus a trip in a fish & chip train.

Concorde Tour at Manchester Airport
This was a trip that brought back some happy memories for me, as I hadn't seen a Concorde since I worked at Heathrow Airport, and it was a good day out too!

Trip to the Boat Museum, Ellesmere Port
I hadn't visited the Boat Museum at Ellesmere Port since I was a child, so it was great to be able to make a return visit. I'd forgotten what a fun and interesting place it was to visit!
Visually Impaired Experiences
Trip to Matlock Bath
The one part of this trip that terrified me was the cable car ride up to the Heights of Abraham! Apart from that, Matlock Bath is a nice town to visit and, for me, has a "sea-side" vibe.

If you're a Harry Potter fan then a visit to Warners Bros. Studio in Watford is an absolute must! There is an audio descriptive tour available, which is fantastic for any visually impaired members of your party.

The National Museum of Computing
It's fascinating to see how, as computers get more complex, they reduce in size. When you look at the huge computers used during WW2 at The National Museum of Computing, and compare them with the smart phones that most people carry today, the progress is amazing.

Bletchley Park
Home of the code-breakers, Bletchley Park is where the UKUSA Agreement was signed in 1946, marking the beginning of the Special Relationship. As John is from the US and I'm from the UK, it made us think about our Special Relationship!

Blists Hill Victorian Town
We knew about the Black Country Living Museum and Beamish, but we hadn't heard of Blists Hill Victorian Town until someone told us about it. We're glad they did!

If you've ever fancied being a weather person, the National Space Centre gives you the chance to give it a go! There's lots of other things to do here too, if you're interested in space.
