Lastminute.com £10 deal

I booked a random hotel the other week as a lastminute.com £10 hotel deal. Just because I like driving to new places and - well, not a surprise, really - take photos in new places. It was somewhere in Hampshire. We decided to take the long, scenic route via a couple of small villages and Winchester.

Can't remember the name of the village where we saw this little church... I will update with the info if/when I get it. Update: Tillington!






I have noticed in the past year or two, as I have taken photos in local churches, these eagles propping up the gargantuan bibles... wonder why they are there; why eagles? If anyone knows, will you let me know?



Next, some photos from Winchester Cathedral.


















Then we drove to the village of Longstock, and Peat and Spade Inn...



(these are just some shots I took while waiting for our meal)






...for the most sumptuous lunch in - well, weeks! OK, perhaps months. :) I start to salivate as soon as I think about my delicious main course...












Then we arrived at the hotel...



...and headed to the bar for some wine and review of the day's photos...



...three bottles and a long discussion later, bed!
