Shamanic drumming and going home....!

This morning, we're checking out of the hotel.  It was a big noisy here last night but we did get a good nights sleep...... so we got ourselves packed up

....left the keys at reception and then headed off for breakfast.

We decided to stop here, over the road from the hotel!

We got a double-bagged cup of tea, so good and strong!!

Then we ordered Eggs Benedict (poached eggs with bacon on toast), we were given Eggs Florentine (poached eggs, spinach and mushrooms on toast) and then when we paid, they charged us for a chicken omelette which was cheaper than both eggs benedict and florentine.

We paid and left quickly.  It was a good breakfast though!!!

We walked up to the underground and saw the WW2 memorial at the end of the park.

And then headed off for today's adventure!

It was only a few stops to here!!

And then a walk up the hill!

And we arrived here!  That's a lovely magnolia tree there.

We're doing shamanic drumming today.

We celebrated Ostara today which is to do with planting seeds for the future. and we all got a little crystal ball!  I'll show you ours later!

After the drumming we sold a watercolour painting to one of the ladies that was there!!  And then we headed back to the station.  Those are pretty flowers too.

We've had a brilliant weekend!!

And now we're heading back to the mainline train station!

We had to change here....

And then it was two stops to Victoria station!

We made it in plenty of time for the 4pm train AND managed to pop into the Lush shop first!!

Our train was delayed by 15 minutes, but that was it.

Luckily we got a window seat going home too!

That's the National Audit Office.

And we're going over the Thames here, believe it or not!!!

You can just see the Battersea Power Station chimneys in the distance!!

It's a little hazy this evening, but it's a pretty sky.

And loads more countryside too!

Wow

Isn't that pretty?!

We went past some little streams....

And a pond.

And crossed over Shoreham Harbour

And got off at Hove Station because we can walk home from here!!

And we stopped at another Magnolia tree!

Well, it's bush sized at the moment....!

Andrea got a bubble bar at Lush, and jumped straight into the bath and used a bit of it!!

That's the crystal ball we got!!  We think it's Rose Quartz.....

We had a great weekend!!!  Was rather manic busy yesterday but we're glad we came up!!
