Surfing in Croyde and Saunton

For V's Birthday she dragged me kicking and screaming down to North Devon to go surfing....



I'm pleased to say that at the end of two sessions I was standing on my 9ft soft board feeling pretty chuffed until that rouge wave hit me from behind!




Croyde is a gorgeous, picture perfect village, the food was devine the company fantastic and we had mars bar cheescake to celebrate V's birthday.





We caught up with Sarah and Glen and had an amazing roast with them, Sarah boy you can cook!





Fantastic break and I have even got a bit of a tan to come home with, wonders will never cease...

Farley, New Forest and Stonehenge

Had another glorious weekend away. Watched the Farley shoot compete in Clay pigeon shooting, very loud and they were awesome shots!

Went for an extended walk around Bentley wood and walked from Wilshire to Hampshire (unexpectadly!) Gorgeous scenery around.




Next day Colina, Tash and I went for a ride in the New Forest, it was so foggy you could hardly see much in front of you, some really nice canters over some stunning scenery. Fully recommend going to the New Forest, lots of wildlife on the way we saw ponies, pigs, sheep, cows all roaming free on the road, it definitely pays to not be in a hurry to get anywhere in the New Forest.




It also gives you a fantastic appreciation for what the rest of England must have looked like a long time ago.





On the way back to London stopped by Stonehenge and took some piccies, blows my mind everytime I see it.

Went to Monty Python's Spamalot when I got back to London well worth going to see, very very funny!
