| We were up and away early on Sunday to go down to Surrey for a 2 night break-courtesy of Groupon....what a beautiful sky .......it stayed dappled like this for miles! |
 |
| WOW--I feel a painting coming on! |
 |
| We arrived at The Hawkley Inn mid afternoon after stopping at Blackbush Sunday market and a couple of boot sales! There were lots of locals outside enjoying the sunshine when we arrived....the staff were lovely---but our room wasn't quite ready so we retired to the beer garden to enjoy a well earned rest and drink after the 140 mile drive. |
 |
| our room was beautiful...a king size bed,overlooking the fields in front of the Inn. It was in the middle of nowhere-and was one of the quietest places we have ever stayed, the windows were open all night and we didn't hear a single car! |
 |
| The bathroom was lovely--very new--and the shower was huge-big enough for 2 ;-)) |
 |
| the only thing about being self-employed is the fact that you are never away from your job! The phone calls are diverted to my mobile-even though my friend stays at out house to look after the pets/house. All Jeannies friends know to ring her mobile when she is at ours if they need to speak to her! So I have a few mins twice a day when we are away to deal with enquiries for classes etc via my website /emails. I was glad to put my feet up with a nice cold vodka and tonic when we arrived at The Hawkley Inn,Liss after walking round the markets! |

| The Moose in the Hoose |
 |
| The view from our room---wonderful! |
 |
| After a huge full english breakfast on Monday we went off to Southsea for the day-- |
 |
| lots to see.. |
 |
| lots of inspiration,, |
 |
| was fun watching all the boats coming and going to the Isle Of Wight--and interesting to see just how good the zoom is on my camera! |
 |
| Pretty good zoom by look of it! I took this at same time as the pic above! |
 |
| We went for a mooch around the front--- |
 |
| was interesting to see round one of the towers... |
 |
 |
| HMS Warrior in the background at Portsmouth docks where we went after...... |
 |
 |
| Looks like Paddy on my shoulder here!! |
 |
| While we were looking at The Mary Rose we noticed a band setting up-along with film cameras--so we kept watching! |
 |
| Turned out The Royal Marines band have a new CD out and they were filming the advert for it for TV. I will be adding it to facebook in a short time... |
 |
| One of the many real ales stocked at the Inn...... |
 |
| 2 courses evening meal was included in the deal we had on Groupon---and this rib eye steak with garlic butter and hand cut chips was sooooo good! |
 |
| and the cheese board was to die for! 6 cheeses----and The Hawley Inns Moose wallop real ale chutney.....nothing could be better! |
 |
| the scenery around the Inn was just beautiful! Lots of lanes, great fun when trying to find it in the first place! |
 |
| This morning on the way back home this morning we stopped at The Lavender Fields nearby--the smell was just delicious...and the shop smelled even better! |
