As the title alludes, I have been to Mottisfont Abbey quite a few times… Not for quite some time in case you think you’ve seen me… My last visit was when I was around ten or eleven, and probably wearing something horrific like stonewashed jeans, and possibly topped off with my favourite Garfield t shirt […]
Sunday Photo – Evening Swim
Someone making the most of their evening swim!
A Lazy Weekend at Lainston
It’s not hard to find my child free posts in the Bavarian Sojourn “back catalogue” as they are typically called things like “The Perfect Quiet Weekend” or “Birthday Castles” (which wasn’t a strictly child free weekend, but as Schloss Elmau does such a good job at entertaining your offspring, you can pretend if you really […]
Sunday Photo – Two Tigers Who Came To Tea
Having tea with a tiger at Mottisfont. He’s not one for large stuffed animals or dressing up really so this made me laugh.
Sunday Photo – Trout Watching
Trout Watching. We would swim in this part of the river when we were small (and my fish phobia wasn’t quite so bad!)…
A Day at Duxford
I think my memories of living in Cambridgeshire will involve a lot of stereotypical things (even though it was for a relatively short period of time), bikes, punting, and gown clad students… And then a few not so – the masses of flag wielding tourist groups, Anglesey Abbey, Wandlebury Ring, and The Imperial War Museum […]
Sunday Photo – Through the Water Meadows
These two, busy exploring their new environs. They love each other very much, but they don’t half wind each other up! It’s hard to believe that Winchester is classed as a city at times, its so full of beautiful greenery…
Cultured Kids #27
It’s taken what seems like weeks to sit down and compose a post, mostly because I think this move has been so very different from our last three… There’s so much more to do than when you first arrive at your rented foreign Expat property. That whole process typically goes something like this: Wait for […]
Sunday Photo – Exploring
Exploring our new city. Slowly getting back to normal after the upheaval. House is coming together mostly thanks to my lovely Pops who spent the week grafting and sorting lots of the rubbish left for us by the previous owners. It’s starting to feel like home… Normal service resuming soon!
Sunday Photo – Unpacking
A week in and we still have a few boxes to go. It’s a huge novelty owning a house again after such a long time. I don’t think we will get tired of looking at something and thinking “I hate that, that’s going” instead of having to live with it – something fellow expats will […]
