There's not a lot to do in Northumberland when the weather's bad.
Metroland, Quasar, Laser Quest - all dried up many moons ago.
So, I made a note to visit the Museum of Classic Sci-Fi in Allendale, which I found on google maps, while slacking off at work, as soon as we had a rainy weekend.

I was really taken aback by the variety of exhibits that they had.
Maybe the most surprising one was the skitter alien from Falling Skies, which I found to be a very compelling series.
Leelu loved their K-9 replica and wanted to take it home.
My wife, who works in museums, was really impressed with the interpretation panels and how well the exhibits were presented and preserved.

It was also a lovely village with easy parking and lots of hospitality.

Anyway, check out some of the photos that I got.
They only show a handful of the exhibits.
Someone was filming a documentary when we were there, which made it awkward to take more but it gives me another reason to go back before long.
