snow at the 'Stoke

The golf course 2min walk from our flat

The aussie slang has arrived in England - Basingstoke has now become 'Stoke and Beggarwood has become the 'Wood...  Jeff laughed when I first started using the slang and he explained to me that I can't use the slang cause I'm not English - but now that he has started using the 'Stoke and the 'Wood - he must be English too!

Our view from the kitchen window with our backyard too

Late last week we had our 2nd day of snow since being in the 'wood - and it was awesome to just look outside through the window and watch the snow fall in all directions (even up) and to cover absolutely everything.  Unfortunately the snow is not thick enough to make a snowman, but just as fun to make a ball and throw at each other.  But once you let go of the snow, it discintergrates straight away, so by the time it reaches the receiver, it's just powder and not really funny at all, but still fun.....
We have come across some funny towns through our driving: Jack's town, Red Rice, Nether Wallop, Wallop, Thrupp of course is my all time favourite at the moment, but Nether Wallop is almost topping it.

We have good news today - the landlord has agreed to let us out of our lease to come home - we have to pay for re-advertising and check out costs which is fair, but we also get 4 months plus bond paid back to us - so that is one huge relief for us.

Swinging with fun at Beggarwood Park
