title A Trip to Blickling Hall, Aylsham, Norfolk - 29th April 2018 intro Even though Isobel and the boys had been to Blickling Hall recently with the Brussels contingent, Nosher hadn't been since the mid 1990s, so it was decided we would visit again. There was also a chance to poke around in the RAF Oulton museum, where we actually discovered some flight logs from Gunton Field, in Montgomery Alabama, relating to Nosher's grandad supervising some pilot training in a Vultee PT-13 advanced trainer. Finally, on the way back through Norwich, we stop off at the Forum for a visit to Pizza Express. imgp0165 The gang head up to Blickling Hall, on a wet day imgp0166 We head into the ticket office imgp0167 Inside the RAF museum imgp0169 Harry and Fred imgp0170 Fred pokes about imgp0171 Harry tries a typewriter out imgp0172 Fred's doing a spot of Morse Code imgp0173 Harry tries out the Morse code key imgp0174 A big model aeroplane hangs from the roof imgp0175 Harry looks at exhibits imgp0180 Nosher's Grandad as 1st pilot, September 1942 imgp0181 Fred roams around imgp0182 The grand frontage of Blickling imgp0185 Walking around in the rain imgp0188 We explore the gardens in the drizzle imgp0190 Walking the gravel paths of Blickling imgp0191 The bluebells are out in force imgp0193 Walking up wet steps in wellies imgp0194 Blickling's impressive topiary imgp0195 Fred's up a tree imgp0196 The boys eat a snack imgp0201 Harry on a log imgp0204 We visit a garden shelter imgp0205 Harry and the bluebells imgp0212 Palladian columns imgp0213 A pink room, thanks to plastic on the windows imgp0214 Isobel and Harry look up imgp0216 Both the boys are now peering up imgp0217 The East Wing of Blickling imgp0218 The garden room imgp0220 The boys poke around in a stumpery imgp0222 Fred points imgp0223 A fern opens up imgp0226 Stunning pink rhododendron imgp0229 Harry appears from out of the rhododendron bush imgp0232 Fred pokes a Monkey Puzzle tree imgp0233 Harry has a poke of the Monkey tree imgp0236 A view over the topiary and Blickling's lake imgp0237 Fred empties a wellington boot out imgp0238 A white bench contrasts with black grasses imgp0240 Tulips in the rain imgp0241 The boys run through the tulip garden imgp0248 The moat around the hall imgp0249 Harry in the National Trust café imgp0251 Harry slurps on a hot chocolate imgp0253 Bits of Blickling through leaded glass imgp0255 The boys check out the gift shop imgp0256 The boys in the NT shop imgp0258 Harry stands around in sodden gravel imgp0259 Walking back from Blickling imgp0261 The Buckinghamshire Arms, next to the hall imgp0262 Fred reads the menu in Pizza Express imgp0263 Harry checks out the Piccolo menu imgp0264 Harry reads something imgp0266 Fred furtively eats pizza imgp0269 Harry looks up at something imgp0271 Down the spiral stairs imgp0273 The boys check for Pokémon characters imgp0276 In the Bethel Street car park imgp0277 Bethel Street car park
