Two birthdays today Fiona and Willow, as we farewelled this jewel in the crown of London with its green walks and many parks.
Showers overnight and cooler as we head to Hampton Court. The rain got heavier and as we arrived we were told it was only a car park not suitable for large vehicles and the man on the gate suggested we try the train station. We drove round the corner but that car park had a barrier arm, there was a coach park but it was £15......the joys of motorhomeing. Had a coffee to see if the rain eased but it got heavier, so we decided to give it a miss and to continue on.
The sat nav and the map couldn't agree so we ended up going the long way towards Melton Mowbray to Northfield Farm at Oakham. We arrived just on closing but they let us into the shop and we bought some fresh pork chops, eggs, milk and 2 local Ales, Rutland Panther and Rutland Osprey, bit dear but parking overnight is free. The rain had stopped and it is dry here so fine for tonight's stop.
This site was in the Britstop book, no photo and the car park turns out to be more of a layby for cars to park when visiting the shop. However it was on a quiet, narrow, country road so fine for a free night.
Asian pork and vegetables for dinner washed down with local Rutland ales.
