We left Porlock this morning at 8:30 and drove home on the highway for 4 hours - and unfortunately we missed a turn off to another highway and we did some back road navigating - Woking - you are a scary black hole!! We made it home to Fiona's by 1:30 and had time to shower and tidy up before heading out to meet one of my clients in Shere for cream tea and scones!
I went for a walk on some gorgeous grounds today with another one of my clients. Polesden Lacey is an estate just down the road from Fiona's home - a tucked away amazing estate that the family can not afford to upkeep so they give it to the National Trust to take care of (volunteer organization that keeps the heritage alive and well).
Dinner was out to The Onslow Arms pub - lovely food, good beers. Actually we are finding that the beers are quite light in the pubs but in the liquor stores there are better ones! Funny and surprising to us. We were too full for dessert!
A charmed life indeed! Sounds like you have a real feel fir tge English culture...how lovely! You're soon on your way back to us but I can imagine tge hours ahead still hold a magical time! Enjoy!
