The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park & the volunteers that run them are superb! It's so wonderful to see working (replicas) of Alan Turing's Bombe, Bill Tutte's Tunny machine & Heath Robinson.. and of course Tommy Flower's COLOSSUS.

Staying at a beautiful hotel in Funchal, Madeira. Famed General William Carr Beresford used this place as his headquarters during Britain's 'friendly' occupation of Madeira during the Napoleonic wars. His huge sideboard is still here in the aptly name Beresford Restaurant.
