Well, having had a moan in my last post about lazyness in blogging, I now feel like getting through the backlong of things to post about.
First up, the New Forest! The last time I was there was when I was a kid, we were passing through on a family holiday, probably back from Corwall or something and I remember Dad going on about Robin Hood. Jac was in town and I thought it might be nice that we pop down to the New Forest. It was only about a 2 hours drive from London and Kamil our driver would be chauffering us… in his three doored compact (indeed it was, especially for 4!).
It was a Monday like no other, out in the country with chums I haven’t seen in a while. Driving through the forest reminded me of Kruger, the sound of gravel parting under the wheels of the car, the sun and that anticipation in looking out for four legged mammals. Kamil and I reminisced about Kruger as we’ve both been on separate occasions, but Jac hasn’t, poo her!
So yeah, the New Forest was good. Not sure what else to say about it really. We had fish & chips for dinner, earlier, Jac and I had scampi & chips for lunch. How imaginative.
