Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire
We had a busy weekend starting Friday morning as we made our way up the M2 -> A2-> M25 -> M11 towards Thurlby in Lincolnshire. We were booked for 2 nights at the Thurlby Youth Hostel so we could go to the British Birdwatching Fair the next day. Now the amazing thing is that there are 3 Thurlbys in the UK all in Lincolnshire. Since we were starving when we arrived we figured that was a good time to go grocery shopping. Which we did in nearby Bourne at Sainsburys. And we passed some lovely thatched roofs on the way and even more exciting an Edward VII Letter Box in Manthorpe. Yes, yes, yes. That's the photo of our hostel - we had the room at the top left. Very comfortable, ensuite, just been renovated, friendly proprietor, good facilities and a comfy bed. We even ran into people who were going to the Bird Fair as well. 
So up and at 'em the next day fortified with Weetabix and tea to the Fair which was well organized for kids. J- Rock and I went on 2 hikes and he was quite a star finding all sorts of dragonflies, spiders, moths and insects. I seem to be doing a lot of the "I'm from Canada not America spiel".
Next day we went to a Museum in Duxton - prize to the first person to guess what museum and the name of one of the objects we saw above!

I do believve this is all a lie. I think in reality you were all at the Oval where Birdman and son mannaged to scuf the ball and cause an international controv-ersy.

A post box! Yay, and a nice one, too. Did you stop in Cambridge for a stroll along the river. Now, must google Duxton, or do you mean Duxford?
KT, On closer look at the picture, I see that's a spy plane, The Black Bird, I think, and you're at Duxford! I been there, I been there.
No lies it's true - except for the Duxton bit. Sorry, it should have been Duxford. And we were at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford - highly recommended. Prize to that person who guessed correctly!
