I know that this has been all over the international news but for those of you that may have missed it, the body of one of England's most famous kings, Richard III, was found recently in Leicester! Not only is it my old home town but the burial location was actually my school's playgound! I walked over a king every day for years!! The whole story is here...

Here is the excavation site and the blue tarps are where the actual body was found. The building on the left used to belong to my middle and high school, Leicester Grammar School. It was sold to Leicester City Council a few years back and the playground converted into a parking lot. You can see the arched door about half way down which used to be the main door to the school...

And in front of the door - my school friends from that time (I am not in the photo)...

And here I am on just the other side of the street (you can see the school building on the right of the photo) - going to class :). I know I know...haven't changed a bit, right?...

How bizarre!!!

Kennedy Space Center

About a year and a half ago, Maddy and I went to see the last ever shuttle launch (link here!) at Cape Canaveral. We have not actually visited the Kennedy Space Center as a family, however, for over 10 years! We have changed just a bit since then...(link here!). To round off the best weekend ever we decided to go over on Sunday and check it out... 'cause I bloody love space :)

Maddy and Mike got the audio tours to get some extra space knowledge...

This is the actual walkway that Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew walked through before the first moon landing. I showed my respect with a moon walk of my own...
