We had a roaring week at Hill House as we enjoyed the thrill of the Farnborough Airshow. There were lots of aviation-themed activities and residents watched live coverage of the airshow on TV as well as spending time out in the garden spotting the aircraft as they flew overhead. A trip to the Gloster pub in Farnborough on Wednesday gave us a fantastic chance to see the planes up close.
