New Forest

So last weekend we headed to the New Forest to celebrate Matt’s birthday with family. It was awesome. The weather was unseasonably good and the landscape was truly beautiful. I am no happier than when I’m surrounded by nature and it seemed to be just what I needed. I know that it was for Matt’s birthday but I enjoyed it so much. On Saturday we decided we’d hire bikes and cycle through the New Forest in the sunshine. I literally can’t remember the last time I was on a bike, it must have been almost 10 years ago, so I was pretty nervous to begin with. I soon relaxed though and now I’m hooked. If I could cycle through pretty countryside everyday I most definitely would.

I think Matt really enjoyed the cycling as well even if we got a little lost and a little muddy. That probably made it more fun. I was so sore the next day though especially between my legs which let me tell you is not enjoyable. So Sunday we decided to travel by foot instead of by bike. We headed off on a little walk which would end with a pub garden, a Sunday roast and a pint of cider…perfect.
