Return To England June 2005
Following on from the "Our Heroes" trip to Italy in May/June 2005 (see
my record of the trip here) I accompanied my father on an
excursion to England, to visit the parts of Nottingham and district
where his father had been raised.
As with my other travel records, the trip is presented here as a travel
diary, with notes about each day and selected photographs. The diary is divided
into daily files so you can read through the day then go to the record for the next or previous day.
