My sister and I decided to have a day out with our Dad a few weeks ago. Now that's not as easy as it sounds as he and my Mum are incredibly active still and have travelled widely. He is also a keen walker and there isn't much ground left in West Sussex which he won't have already covered. However, I did happen to know that he hasn't yet visited the Wings museum https://gnatbottomedtowers.blogspot.com/search?q=wings+museum so that's where we plumped for. Since my previous visit they have rejigged all of the displays and it was just as fascinating as it was the first time around. Nevertheless it is all WWII related and I've chosen not to blog again about its content as some of it is difficult and I think we've all got enough on our plates right now. What I did find extraordinary though was this set of rules from 1940 for playing golf during these times. The mind quite boggles whilst managing to be frightfully British with a 'keep calm and carry on' attitude about the whole beastly business of war!
