Out & about
My oh my I am a little behind in blogosphere. When I don’t post for a while I start getting a little concerned that I will forget things. I haven’t even written about my lovely trip to the New Forest and there’s still plenty of other images to post, too…
The camping trip was pretty amazing. I’ve never been camping before, other than at Glastonbury, and I don’t really class that as camping. I’m not quite sure how we came to the decision of camping in March in England, which pretty means disaster weather, but it was a rather spontaneous decision. The past week or so had been pretty rough for both of us, I think, so the need to just hop in the car and drive into the distance was very much present. We coasted around the New Forest, whizzed along the west coast around Dorset pretty much taking photos, visiting strange little towns and enjoying both being out of our respective cities.
We called this home for three nights:
I’ve never put up a tent before either so that was another mile stone. I really wish my parents had taken me camping as a kid. We cooked on this ridiculously pathetic stove (actually it wasn’t even a stove, just a pan with firelighters underneath) and I loved it. I ate French Fancies for breakfast, drank beer before bed and was woken up one morning by a wild pony trying to stomp me to death in my tent. What more could I ask for? And I got to wake up to this face every morning:
Beautiful, eh? Anyway, I won’t bore you with the details. Here’s the pretty normal photos from the trip, I’ll post the prettier ones in staggered posts. Here we go…

I had forgotten about these photos taken on a lovely (and cold) day out in Surrey with the gang. They do make me smile, very much so.

Phew! What a week. Today has been the first time I’ve had the chance to sit down at the computer, catch up on e-mails, do a bit of retouching and defrag the contents of my brain from the previous week.
I had such a lovely time away for my birthday. It was just so wonderful being with lots of my friends out in the country, disconnected from the world (checked Facebook/email a few times, phone died when we arrived and I didn’t bother to charge it). The house was an incredibly beautiful barn conversion with a huge family-style kitchen, lots of comfy bedrooms (despite the snorers) and surrounded by sheep (I love sheep). C & I shared the gorgeous master bedroom and when I couldn’t sleep I enjoyed watching the sunrise from our window as he slept peacefully, snuggled into the thick, warm duvet.
We didn’t leave the house much to be honest. On Saturday we went to Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall which was incredibly. I am utterly obsessed with the sound of running water and having not seen a real waterfall before I thought I might die with excitement when we arrived. It was breath taking standing at the bottom and looking up and then later on in the day we climbed the mountain right to the top. This part of the adventure was not so good as I slipped over backwards on a rock at the top of the waterfall and broke my camera lens. BUT, it shall not mar my experience… I’ll post some photos of the waterfall a bit later.
Ate so much food it became a little ridiculous. And really good food. Lots of egg breakfasts, lamb tagine, home-made leek and potato soup (a la Mama), huge huge huge roast dinner, with the last evening rounded off with a curry. Absolutely de-lish.
On the way home we headed by Lake Vyrnwy which was also pretty incredible (and cold). Such a huge expanse of water with a rather odd little castle-like turret sticking out into the water. Reminded me of when E & I drove around ‘El parque natural sierras de Cazorla‘ last summer. Paradise? Will post photos of there at a later date too…
Here’s a rather random assortment of photos from the weekend! Image heavy…
