Hey Guys,

Welcome to the first entry of my travel diary 😊 It's currently the evening of my first full day in England. After 24hrs in the air (mostly spent sleeping) I got my first taste of English gridlock traffic. I didn't mind a bit though because there were so many nice houses and pubs and gardens to look at. We also saw wild horses on the side of the road. There were heaps of them, some lying down (thought they were dead at first).

My first night was spent watching very bad UK TV, but it was nice and relaxing. This morning we got up early and went to Beaulieu. We passed through the town, which was small and beautiful with thatched roof houses, very old pubs, a lovely big lake and GREEN grass 😊 Went on to Beaulieu Palace House, the remains of Beaulieu Abbey and The National Motor Museum.

The Palace House was gorgeous with lots of old paintings and beautiful old furniture. There wasn't much left of the Abbey, it was build just before Henry VIII times... some time in the 15th Century, but it still had really nice Victorian gardens. The motor

Don't mind clouds so much when you're above them :)

museum was what you'd expect... lots of shiny old cars starting from the 1890's. They had a car that broke the sound barrier... 771km/ph. The highlight was Mr Beans mini and chitty chitty bang bang 😊

Tomorrow morning we're going into Beaulieu town for some 'cream tea'. Not yet sure what that is, but I'll find out soon enough. Then I'm leaving Southampton for Watford.

I hope everything/everyone in Melbourne is going well. I here there's been some rain... hope it keeps up 😊

Will write again soon when I have more pictures and stories.

lots of love
