Imperial War Museum Duxford

Yesterday, hubby woke up and decided to take us on a surprise trip. On the way he announced we were going to Duxford War Museum. We were thrilled as we have wanted to visit this place for a while now. We had a fantastic day and we can't wait to go back!

Here are some pictures of our day at the Musem.

4 Years Later and So Much Has Changed

Wow wow Wow! It's been four years since I last posted on here. So much has changed in my life. I remember writing about my depression I was suffering from, and how I was struggling with Life.

It's not and basically it's a simulation of a real aircraft. The best thing of all was it was in one of Joe's (and one of all of our favourite planes) favourite planes, the Tiger Moth. We booked him a flight and at 12:45pm, he went for a 15 minute flight where he was able to take the controls in that time and fly it himself. He was so nervous, but also so excited.
