Val cooked us a full
English breakfast before we had a great Skype with home as it was Australia Day
there. It was great to see Mum, Jess, Tracy, Roger and all the dogs and Val
didn’t think they had changed at all. Had a lovely chat and good old reminisce
then Val & Malcolm took us out for a drive. It was terrible weather -
raining and very windy! We drove through Highcliffe, New Milton & Beaulieu before
arriving in Bucklers Hard and as soon as we stepped out of the car the sun came
out! (The sun always shines on the righteous - as Sheila Briggs always says) http://www.bucklershard.co.uk/ lovely
place- since 1698 they built ships there and the wood from The New Forest (oak)
was pulled down the middle of the street to the harbour. We had a good walk
around and had a drink in The Yachtsman’s Bar. We drove back through The New
Forest to Brockenhurst and stopped to have a look at ”The Pig” http://www.thepighotel.com/hotel-in-the-new-forest/explore.aspx
a big country house with a restaurant
and accommodation - very swish and trendy. We drove back through Bashley to
Mudeford Quay to check on Malcolm’s boat/dinghy as it had been bad weather - it
was fine. Picked up the dogs from Val’s Mum & Dad’s (they haven’t changed a
bit Mum and when I showed them a picture of you they said the same). Had a
couple of drinks in The Nelson Tavern then home to cook dinner. Another great
day.
