Chinese food! just like that at home!
And time for noms!
Bye nature, for now!
The people here call them swarrs or swans or something & are known to chase & devauor unattended children
Oh white floating thingies
2 different things, almost 800 years apart. :P
Uncle Raymond reading up on it's history
open wide!
XD
It is now restored from the ruins
This castle, the Oaiham castle traces back to 1207
well, not just any derelict castle...
And derelict castles
So are swans. :P
Frosted grass is a delicacy at this time of the year
Woo sunset already?
Over an even more funky stream
Funky bridge thingie
Now where did that bugger go?
Found the hotair ball-oon!
It's impossible to drown in this river, unless if you try real hard
Which means more sights of the same kind!
This is the path which never ends yay!
Remembered seeing a hotair balloon somewhere
Diggin' the contrast in this neat but otherwise blurry photo
The path of no return. :P
Reflective lake is reflective
skinny branch is skinny
Droopy trees is droopy
Mmm trail.. icey...
Oh we are in Basingstoke?
These boats won't be going anywhere too soon
Ice sure is shiny!
Omg, the lake is frozen!
Woot jet streams.
There's a Nokia HQ here too!
The shopping strip
Kingmead, queensmead, now princesmead!
Few of the big malls here
And collect some train tickets at the same time
Courtesy of my uncle who was free of the day
Checking out Farnborough
Tried feet & muddy shoes are just a side effect. :P
who seem to go real well with the fanastic lake views
Besides horses, there are few of the feathery kind
So as the name of the place suggests, we saw many horse riders along the roads too
There are many Ungulate holds in the area
Cattle & horse keeps
Apparently you need a permit to fish here though
Shaun approves of the great views
