Sharron - For Rice pudding Just go to a 'service' - and there's food afterwards, or you could just turn up after the service - they'll feed anyone! It's really Kisch inside, all fairy lights.

I've 'bumped into' (literally in one case!) a pig or two during pannage - I'll ask my friend where the pigs tend to be.
I know they're around Fritham - marvellous pub there, The Royal Oak :-D

The National Trust "Georgian House" Charlotte Square, Edinburgh.

Authentic house and furnishings designed by Robert Adam

Great insight into how a Georgian family lived.

Castles, churches, museums, and haunted houses/places...Big country houses...Seaside..

Bedgebury Arboretum is a nice place to go to,Summer or winter. its just off the A21 Close to Flimwell.

We visit the New Forest religiously every year in the pannage but have never yet seen the pigs.

While we are there we always go to Calshott, It is at the very bottom of Southampton Water where the bigger ships have to turn to starboard to follow the deep channel to pass the Isle of Wight.

A good place to go Ah and waste an afternoon.

Nothing like the Welsh islands though Ann :-)

Not so Island, gardens have been mentioned and The New Forest, and the swannery.

I can add we love to visit Westonbirt and Batsford Arboretums, no bricks and mortar there.

And we also love the scenery of the Cotswolds and Lake district.

The convolvulus is yellow now.

Oh dear, I think I may have Starkadders in the family.I'll swear my mother was Great Aunt Ada Doom and I do go strange when the sukebind flowers!

LOLOL @Julia :-D :-D

That's my girl! :-D :-D :-D


~~~~~~~@Von :-D

I too love Trebah.

RHS gardens at Wisley -so good at any time of the year

Von
~~~~~~ to Island

Garden Centres and Wool Shops. LOLO
(Well you did ask)

Julia in Derbyshire

I think I'll be joining you at the Holly Bush and Dewy Spiderweb Sharron as everyone here seems to prefer bricks and mortar :-0 :-(

Very disappointed by the lack of interest in a magical island again. :-(

Tell me more about the rice pudding in Southampton. I'll go anywhere for rice pudding.

Have been known to buy Asian sweets in St Mary's but don't know about getting food from the temple.

So many places to visit, so little time!! :-D

I like going anywhere!

If anyone fancies an iced 'cake' of a building, the Hindu Mandir at Neasden - known as the Neasden Temple, is a sight to behold!!
...and fascinating.

Best rice pudding I've ever had was at the Sikh temple - Nanaksva Gudwara in St Mary's, Southampton.

Weald & Downland is marvellous, especially in the winter, when the houses are empty.

Michelham Priory, Sussex, where my younger daughter got married is gorgeous.

Amberley museum, in Sussex was fascinating

Laycock is also lovely.

The Russell-Cotes museum in Bournemouth is interesting

I also spend many a happy weekend tramping (off the 'beaten track') through the New Forest

The Blackcountry Museum.

The Back-to Backs in Birmingham

The National Atboretum Memorial.

Art Galleries all around the country, especially the one in Birmingham, which like many others is FREE!

LITTLE WENHAM HALL



Part of a 13th century fortified manor house constructed of brick still stands inside a moat. It was one of the first buildings in England to use brick instead of stone. In the 16th century much of it was dismantled and a new stone building was erected outside the moat.

Fort George near Inverness......stunning location. We were lucky after treking down to the beach getting a birds eye view of the dolphins.....wonderful!

A Welsh open air museum at St Fagans just west of Cardiff is really interesting.
There are many old buildings saved from other parts of Wales and we always find there is more to see than we have hours to visit.
