Hmm... Well.I have a new surround sound system getting deliviered. I'm having a Virgin man coming round to change my tivo box and I'm using a launderette with the great unwashed.
Exciting.
I like architecture in different cities. I still count Grey Street in newcastle as one of the most gorgeous streets in Europe. Lovely Georgian architecture. I also like museums, especially if they have a taxidermy bit with animals. That's the kid in me.
Do you like a kid in you?

The NRM is greatMake sure you see the "junk room" and the workshops out back.
I like all sorts of cultural stuff, castles and stately homes and that, went to the Natural History museum last year, excellent and the kids loved it. Science Museum a bit disappointing though.
Duxford is another good one, and trying to fit a trip to Bletchley Park one of these days.

Thought that was a rip-off tbhAll the raving about it, queuing and then it was like the slowest shittest ghost train ride through a cross between a museum and a bad Madam Tussauds ever.
Plenty of good pubs for lunch and to not meet Dozer for a pint, and/or do the brewery tour as well (we usually end up in Ye Olde Starr Inn).

dunno, are you staying overnight?Also, get to the NRM by walking into town then getting the road train from outside the Minster. Your daughter will enjoy that more than walking either of the main routes.
If you're there overnight then do a ghost walk.

I'll sit quietly and remenisce about a long sunny Sunday afternoon we spent......Drinking in a 'working men's club' (don't know how to spell the word in Ukrainian) with a cross-section of people. Young guys & Girls that wanted to practice their English, war veterans with some heart-rending stories of battles and occupation and just ordinary people who wanted to know what it was like in the UK.
One of those times where the day passed slowly and I counted my blessings to have been born free and relatively wealthy, sitting and shooting the breeze with foreigners who were just people with their own stories to tell.
