Weather looking reasonable for this Saturday, so I'm thinking of either:
o A drive in the New Forest, (stop for lunch somewhere, plus maybe visit the Sammy Miller motorcycle museum)
o Visit to the Haynes Museum on the A303 near Yeovil (never been for some reason. I must have paid for this with all the Haynes manuals I had in the past).
Saturday 14th August 2021 Trip

The plan was changed a little bit, to a drive through the new forest to Exbury Gardens near Beaulieu. Very nice place, acres of woodland and gardens plus, importantly, f type suitable parking.
Also had vegan samosas for lunch in one of the cafe's there, which were delicious. Never had vegan before. They are very tasty. I hope they were humanely killed though.

Was hoping to go to the motorbike museum to see if the Kawasaki KH250 in the photos was my first bike! Another day perhaps

One never visits what's on one's doorstep because "I can see it any time", which turns out to be never!mickjaguar wrote: βSat Aug 14, 2021 7:31 pmAnd you think that's bad. I used to live in the New Forest and have never been to Exbury until now
What was bad was how much older I've got since the visit, without realising it.

Lovely gardens, nice cafe areas. Had a cottage for a week last year close to Butlers Hard and took a trip there.
One of the Covid advantages is Iβve rediscover a lot of the UK, vs endless trip to a second home in Spain
