UK Trip 2009 - Monday 13 April 2009
he cold is dragging on, but still went ahead with catching up with my sisters in the centre of Nottingham. We took a ride on the Nottingham Wheel that is sitting in the Old Market Square and gave us great views over the city (it was a reasonably clear day), turned out the be decent ride as we went round 4 times and although not as big as the London Eye, still very smooth.
Pauline showed me the houses that my grandfather used to own in St James Street and then we went down to the Brewers Yard, under the Castle.
We had lunch in the Trip to Jerusalem, which I have never been in before and it really is built into the side of the hill the castle is standing on. Had a very nice lunch and chat, before we wandered back into the centre and a spot of shopping, in the end I was the only one that actually bought anything.
Got back home and decided to take the car out to fill it up with petrol in advance of taking it back tomorrow. Had intended to go to the Morrison's petrol station but noticed that the Total one was virtually empty so went there instead.
