Late last night, el Husbando found a great motorbike that he wanted to look at, messaged the owner, heard back, and planned to go look at it that! And it was just outside Nottingham, so that's where we went.
It was a long drive (almost 3 hours), but it was well worth it, as he put a deposit on the bike! He'll go back by train next weekend to pick it up and bring it home then, but he's well excited about it.
By that time, it was already mid afternoon, so we only had time to check out Nottingham Castle, Art Gallery and Museum. Not a Heritage site, unfortunately, and an interesting place. The gardens were lovely, but the art gallery and Museum parts inside the building we're not so good. Lots of small rooms that didn't seem to have a connected theme, and not much expansion to what the objects were or why they were significant. We were glad we couldn't make the trip just for that.
And then, it was time to head home! The trip back down the M1 was long and slow, filled with other people returning to London. Back to work this week!
