A couple of quiet days, so there's not a lot to talk about.
Saturday morning, Ken and Sue drove us to the outskirts of London. They showed us where they (and Margaret) grew up. It was interesting to see a neighborhood and hear the stories associated with it. Also had a look at Epsom racecourse, where we could drive right up to the rails on the racetrack.
Lunch was at a garden centre, where we could see that most of the plants are what we grow at home.
Dinner that night was at a nice local pub.
Sunday, we hit the road after lunch and headed for the coast, driving through the New Forest, part of the way was on a motorway which carries a lot of traffic and banked up where there had been an accident. We drove into Winchester but couldn't get a carpark so didn't hang around to have a look at the cathedral.
We are staying tonight at Christchurch which is between Bournemouth and Southampton. Went to the pub next door where I had haddock and chips with mushy peas (how British is that!)
Tomorrow we continue heading westward to Dartmoor.
