A Week Away From It All

Finally I've found the time to share with you what I got up to during my holiday off work!
It seems like such a long time ago already, but Ben and I had a lovely week in the New Forest camping, and then we popped down to Brighton for a bit, and for a spot of shopping. Regretfully I didn't take many photos, but here's a few from the handful of ones I did take!

1. Our prints from a photobooth tucked away in a shop in The Lanes. (Snooper's Paradise)

2. A view across the water at Lepe beach. This is such a lovely place to visit on a hot day, 

as there's a little cafe, a river, a hill to climb, and sandy patches of beach a little further along. 

It's never that busy either, which is always a plus! The only bad thing - I got sunburnt.

3. Our little tent! Literally the cheapest one Argos do, and it was great. 

We took our bikes along as well, and they proved useful when cycling around the 

campsite trying to find the BBQ disposal bin! 

4. How can you visit the New Forest without saying hello to the ponies? 

There were foals everywhere, and it's so lovely to see them living in such 

a beautiful environment.

5. The best veggie chilli nachos I have ever had. If you find yourself in the New Forest, 

and hungry, pay a visit to The Royal Oak near Beaulieu. They also have a resident owl!

6. The beautiful kitchen of our Airbnb apartment in Brighton. 

The entire place was absolutely gorgeous. The bed was ever so comfortable, 

and our hosts Peter and Seb were lovely. You can book Brighton Heights Number34 HERE! 

We stayed 2 nights in the Silver room. Katy from littlewinter also recently stayed there 

(in the same room we did) and you can read her post about it here! 

7. The Lanes! Here is where we spent all 3 of our days looking around the little shops, 

spending too much money and getting lost.

8. I love the buildings in Brighton, it's such a picturesque city.

9. The pier! We didn't go on it in the end, as it was far too hot to be walking around out in the open. 

We took a quick stroll across the seafront and then retreated back to the shady lanes.

10. The Lanes once again.

Overall, a very enjoyable week indeed. And certainly a lot cheaper than travelling abroad. Next year, maybe we'll go somewhere further afield, but this little trip suited us just fine, and luckily the weather stayed nice!

Thanks for reading, and I'd love to hear what you think down below! :)
