Today we went to have a look around Croydon Airport, as was. Believe it or not, this little patch along side the Purley Way used to be 'the premier civil airport of Great Britain' according to the Croydon Airport Society website (http://www.croydonairport.org.uk/). Today the remaining buildings are mostly used as offices, but there's a bit of a display in the main hall, and some plane models. Most importantly for us is that this is the airport used in the Poirot film Death in the Clouds, set in the 1930s when the airport was at its busiest.

In other news, I have two new toys for Christmas: a breadmaker and a portable DVD player, so I've been catching up on some movies (and taking advantage of the extra few days off work to relax!) May try to make some bread tomorrow...
