Nottingham and Loughbourough...

Ok i have to admit that this post is a long time coming and been on the draft list for a while..uploading photos and rearranging them on blogspot is so troublesome!!!once i finish uploading five photos i'm already half way into sleeping mode...
never the less....Nottingham and Loughborough is up!!
Only spend 2 hours in Nottingham on our way to Loughborough to see Nigel, managed to sneek out of the station (Illega...i mean LEGALLY..)..pretty quiet and peaceful town..as most UK towns are, a little bit more historical then Sheffield...starting to think most UK towns are pretty similar in appearance and size, unless its the huge cities like Liverpool/Manchester or London...but all have their own history which makes it so great...just as Sheffield have their distinction of blade production, Nottingham has their local hero...ROBIN HOOD!!
Nottingham at a glance:
