I had planned to go to Newark-on-Trent and Southwell today with Siobhan, my support worker, but because of the rain we decided to go to Hemswell Antiques Centre near Gainsborouh. There's plenty of undercover there - it's the largest antiques centre in Europe.
When we travel out in that direction we usually go to the Toby Carvery at Bessacarr for breakfast, but we were disappointed the last couple of times we went and so decided to eat at the Trent Port pub down by the river, just before the bridge over the Trent at Gainsborough. The food there was much better.
The antiques centre at Hemswell is located on a former RAF base. We went inside five of the buildings there, but there are several other buildings where antiques and collectables are also on sale...and there are other retail businesses on the site as well.
On the way back home we called at the Retford and Gainsborough Garden Centre at Beckingham for apple pie and ice cream at the Citrus Cafe.
