HEADing to the Arboretum

The National Arboretum was our final stop on our adventure and boy, what a place it was. Stretching just over 150 acres and filled with various memorials it literally is mind blowing. It must be said that this place is definitely worth a visit.

However, along with the sobering atmosphere of the grounds we were never far away from a little humour. This surfaced when a group of school children went up to Nick asking for his autograph for posessing what they called "the biggest head in the universe". He duely obliged and we managed to help out the school children with their project for the day. After many hours of admiring the beautiful location and the laying of our personalised RAF Odiham wreath we decided to find a local pub to watch our national team do us proud. At this point Dave managed to demonstrate his drinking limits and after finishing his third babycham started voicing his opinions to the whole bar (and most of Lichfield). Then it was back to Whittington Barracks where we started to pack up our gear ready for the long road trip back down to Hampshire tomorrow, where hopefully all will return to normal - i.e. Sid becomes human again, Nick loses some air pressure from his head and Dave manages to sober up. Until then we're all stuck together...... God help us.
