Quintessential Rotherwick

Last weekend we went to visit my cousins Joel and Jude at their house in Hampshire.  It was a long long journey (even longer on the way home thanks to Daddy’s inability to differentiate the M1 from the A1(M) and Mummy’s inability to stay awake for more than 10 minutes when navigating). 

Joel, Jude and their mummy and daddy live in a beautiful village called

Rotherwick

I had a great weekend playing with all their toys, running around the garden and getting up to general mischief.  This is Christmas Cottage where my cousins live, named not because they moved in over the Christmas period but because it used to belong to Mr and Mrs Christmas.  Honestly.

On Saturday we all went for a walk to the park, crossing the fields

and taking care not to disturb the local wildlife.

Beware Ducks

There was so much to see that I didn’t know which way to turn

My daddy spent most of the time gawping at all the houses, turning greener and greener with envy everytime he saw one.  Here are just a few to give you a flavour of the village.  Admittedly I thought some of the houses were rather nice myself.

Apparently the village hall was used in an episode of Foyle’s War

After all the excitement there was only one thing for us boys to do.  Sit down in front of the box and suck our thumbs until they fell off.
