We visited the Tank Museum in Bovington on Monday. It was great, though I had it in my mind that it was all about tanks, hulking great machines with tracks that are super capable off road and technologically advanced and so on. I was really looking forward to have a good look at some large bits of machinery. It had skipped my mind that they’re actually machines for killing people. So perhaps taking our 4 year old daughter wasn’t as great an idea as I had previously imagined. Of cause the museum is ordered from the first world war onwards through the various conflicts right to todays latest and greatest waste of human life. Gladly Abigail didn’t seem to realise the significance of the machines. I was impressed by the tank cut into two halves, it was cool to see.
