So today I wasted most of my working hours at the National Memorial Arboretum, which does exactly what it says on the tin - it's a lot of trees and a lot of monuments. Every single tree in there is dedicated to someone and every single monument commemorates a battle or a regiment or a ship - which is pretty moving if you stop looking at the pretty scenery and think about it for a minute. Still, I wonder how long it will be before people come to enjoy the present as well as remember the past...
They're building this at the moment. It's a great big circular war memorial thingy. Impressive, huh?
Anyway, after a day of all that, I was in adventure mode and took a bit of a wonky route home. Discovery No. 1 was quite pretty:
Discovery No. 2 was downright weird:
What on earth is that? Hang on a minute - it's a wing. From a plane. With, like, jet engines and those RAF Spitfire spot things. In someone's garden. With decorative pot plants around the edges. Yeah. OK.
