Today I went to Nottingham, a place I only have been to once before and that was as a child. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was nice and easy to get to. I met my friend Eleanor at just gone 11 after I got confused at Nottingham Station and went out the wrong exit (the back one) - now that place is badly signed!

Once we had found each other we went into the town centre and from there the castle, which was fun - well we walked around then came back out I took a few photos. The museum was not very awe inspiring but the castle was beautiful.



After we had went to the castle my stomach was rumbling (like it does frequently but at a good time this time) so after heavy deliberation we decided to buy a sandwich from Greggs (and of course the important Belgian Bun) and then sat in the square, it was a beautiful day so could not give up the opportunity to sit out in the Sun.

Ok now what to do, we were unsure so we walked all I knew is that I needed the toilet! So we went into some shopping centre and used the facilities, obviously the highlight of the day ;-). However because we did this we came across the The Galleries of Justice which had to exhibitions one about the Police and one about the Justice courts and prison there. The police thing was good but nothing in comparison to the fantastic tour at the The Galleries of Justice. It was interactive with actors portraying people from the appropriate time which is always good and they were quite convincing. I ended up being put on trial as George Beck, a conspirator in setting fire to the castle, which was lots of fun and gave me chance to play around (I always like that sort of thing) - I even plead Guilty but had to change that so the story line could continue, hehe! It was fun. The Judge in this interactive part even said "there is more than one way a man can repay his debts" - which for once I did not take in well the wrong manner, I just let that one slide since there were young children around. I have to say at moments it was very convincing the actors obviously put a lot into it and should be commended. I think Eleanor was scared at moments - which is funny and she will deny it I am sure, but I saw her face!

After a great day it was time to go home at 5 so Eleanor could go off out in evening - I swear that girl is turning into a right piss head (if any of her family read this, no she is a completely sensible girl and anything I have said here should be ignored!).

Oh and just by the Galleries of Justice is what I thought was a fantastic Church, guess what - it is now a pub (well restaurant / bar thing)!




Well after what was a good day the journey home was pretty painless in fact the train from Nottingham ended up on the same platform as the train back to Selly Oak, so after a short run I was back home.
