Relocation day for our second week in the UK, staying in a comfortable guest house in an old mill near Cirencester …
Planned as pure family day with just a short stay in Brize for having dinner in the famous Pub there. However, with no dinner available before 16.00 hours, we stayed a little bit near the airbase, where – as a very nice surprise – the Red Arrows arrived after a flypast over Silverstone ... Also very nice farming activity there ...
