A very wholesome British breakfast for all of us…. Takes Mom & me , down memory lane , when Uncle Rony use to make us Sunday breakfast of… cheese toast, sausage, bacon, fried egg, grilled tomato & a good cuppa coffee!!! Kahan gaye woh din …………
All Bapi M needs is a car all tanked up & he can drive around the world …. That is what we have done today …. Drive around the world for sure!!!
Drive along the small towns to reach Milford on Sea. This is truly the most scenic place that I have seen so far. Although pebbled beach, the water is absolutely blue, & if it wasn’t for the fact that the water was so cold, we sure wud have taken a dip. The corn field on the other side of the beach is a perfect match.
Didn’t want to leave this place, but it’s a long drive to Bournemouth. A typical typical beach area , with human, who are packed like sardines in a tin. The Sun has got just everyone out to the beach …. In a way .. it is claustrophobic for us!!! However, we do dip our feet in the cold water, take a spin on the speed boat(miracle we didn’t get thrown off the boat coz of the speed), drink chilled Carona to cool down & try our hand at Hit the Bottles stall to win a pink panther … but kuck nahin hua .. coz for one .. our aim was way off & we didn’t have enough strength to knock them off their base completely!!! Sighhhh
Time to head home driving through an area called The New Forest. Its dense, just like the forest in Isle of Wight & the wild animal here that will put the fear og God in you definitely be a Rabbit & worse come to worse, one might just have a Fox trying to nip your leg ……. If that aint scary …. Wonder wot is!!! J
Take a detour through Bank & see the most amazing typical village & modern homes, complete country types , reminds me of Mehrauli !!!
Stop at Lyndhurst for a nice cuppa tea with scones. Go to a cute café , which has its own bakery. And have the tastiest Potato Wedges & the freshly baked Scones, with fresh clotted Cream & strawberry Jam ….. absolutely to Die for … ooops …to Live for ….. it’s the very best & no one should come back without eating it, warna life main kuch toh miss kar hi doge!!!
A small stop at Winchester Cathedral, an extremely majestic structure!! Wish we had reached on time to see this church from inside … but no matter, there is always a next time!!!
Reach London late evening to be welcomed by Bapi M’s neice & family. Itali & Jeet have the cutest little girl, less than 2 years & her energy and antics take away our tiredness in a jiffy!!!
Hightlight: Shop called Pages of Lyndhurst, on the high street , next to the Café, which has the most unusual curios all made of glass. If anyone goes there, please make sure you buy me a glass handbag, coz by the time we spotted the place, it had shut down…. Ufffff !!!
