Nottingham

On Monday evening we head to Nottingham and passed Sherwood Forrest. Nice area and a Nut is free to go where ever it wants it! We stopped at the hotel and had a hot chocolate. We got a suite for a price of a single room, that was a fine deal!







Time was too late to visit the castle of Nottingham but we saw two statues of Robin Hood, one made out of flowers and one built in bronze. We stopped in the oldest inn of England: ye olde trip to Jerusalem. First mentioned in 1189. Beer and ale pie filled with British beef was good. Thanks God I am a nut, so no mad cow disease possible for me.





At the end of the day we had one final cocktail in the hotel clubroom. And that would have been a nice experience for GGGee too. This ain't nuts!

Like Robin Hood



Well Sunday was a hot and sunny day, the first kiss of the summer, a promise for that what might come in the near future. T.so went out to do some archery. The local archery club of Hörgertshausen has it’ 10.th anniversary and invited people to come and try to shoot the arrows at the target. T.so wasn’t bad, but he did not let me try my own luck. Maybe he thought I’m too good for him and will beat him on this.

At the end we have some meat from the suckling pig they have roasted on the coals. That took T.so back to his youth, when he was a big fan of Obelix, well still he is and that maybe nuts for a 42 years old boy.

So all in all it was a good day
