Wow - what a day! Drove with Chris and Jean to Exbury, in the New Forest, about an hour and a half from Crowthorne. There were wild ponies and donkeys all over the place, plus large white cows wandering free. We saw one pony suckling its foal at the ... Read more >

Today we decided to go to Hampton Court Palace, somewhere we were both looking forward to seeing. Chris and Jean came with us, and we started off in the Rose Garden - full of glorious old fashioned roses, filling the air with their scent. We decided ... Read more >
