On the Road

Hullo everyone. Here i am blogging again. Most of you would have been spared the misery of the previous one. I promise you this one is more informative about stuff, you know what I mean! So we have been traveling with our doll, a Mazda MX-5 which we adore already. And we do what we love the most, travel and see the world. The big WORLD you see in the little places here and there. The picturesque villages, winding roads promising more yet to come and round-a-abouts.

Let me start with the start. We finally got the car yesterday and started immediately. No time wasted here. Went to a Manor house and farm called Wimpole Hall. Its a lovely property spread across acres of serene gardens and pastures, colourful and bright under a lovely September sun. Saw among other things, the biggest pig ever with her little piglets, horses, rabbits, close to nature; away from mundane everyday lives.
Continued onto Birmingham, nee mini India with a Balaji temple et al. It was nice to celebrate the festival, eat the chitrana and ladoo. The drive was lovely and the doll was perfect. Growling now and again, purring like a cat and sliding like one.

Today we could not be kept away from her and decided to roll again, this time toward South Wales, Cardiff. On route we went to Waddesdon Manor. A grand chateau a la francaise, overlooking the beautiful valley of Aylesbury. Owned by Rothschild previously, its been maintained very well. Though we were too late to see the complete manor, had the glimpse of the kitchen and its magnificient. We hope to return on the way back to see more.

From there on, it was smooth sailing back on the motorway after a halt for dinner in a lovely village pub. The car just glided on the roads and we reached Cardiff in good time. We crossed the Severn bridge from England to South Wales over the sea, Settled to a three days stay here, hope to know more about Wales and enjoy being near the sea.

A demain, until tomorrow.
