The Place where I Live

You see… I don’t usually reply to memes… but that one was posted by my favourite distraction and I can’t just say no to Emma can I?

:)

So… Liphook… where do I start from??? We’ve been living here for ummm about one week now so you imagine how much I can tell you about that picturesque pretty little Village…

Where to start from?!?!?!

We live here:

Yeah… quite different from living in London like we did just 5 days ago…

We are no strangers to Liphook. The wife spent most her life before we met here actually and we used to come along every year for the Liphook Carnival… That and the MIL’s world famous Roast Dinners (remind me to comment on the the MIL’s culinary skills at a later date).

Living here is a total new experience to me as it is THE FIRST TIME EVER I live in a small town. For one side I am finding the novelty awesome… trying out the country side life is inspiring me to get quite a few projects out of the drawer… and to pursue a few others together with TB and soon also with Mr. A (we’re gonna grow a vegetable patch!!! and our own tomatoes!!! ) And I am considering transforming the Garage in a den/studio, so just wait and see.

The other side of me is terrorized (Did you know the only computer supplies shop in town only opens in the morning??? I supose I should be grateful there is one at all… but hey… :) The silence gives me headaches!

The village has about 8000 inhabitants and it is located 4.1 miles west of Haslemere down the A3 from London and in the Coaching era was a midway point for post sent from Portsmouth and Southampton to London. Local tradition has it that Lord Nelson spent his last night in England in Liphook before sailing for the Battle of Trafalgar.

Local attractions include the Forest Mere health spa and Hollycombe Steam Collection. On ‘the night the clocks go back’ (usually the last Saturday in October) the village plays host to the Liphook Carnival, a procession of floats through the village followed by a bonfire which has taken place since 1903

Apart from going to The Anchor there isn’t really much to do in town but at  least I can still have my summer distractions!!!! ;)

Life is a journey… And I feel I am embarking in a brand new one.

How is it gonna be living in the town I live? I have no idea…

But I am sure going to my best to make it fun!!!!

Hasta La Vista

The weekend in pictures
