    Over to the UK for 2 weeks

    May 13 in England ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    So I landed at Gatwick airport and took the train to Petersfield. I then took a cab to Chithurst to stay at Aloka Cottage for a 2 week retreat in the forest.

    I had a lovely room to myself ( very appreciated) and a shared bathroom and shower.

    All I could hear were birds and the stream. No sirens, motorbikes, lawnmowers, power washers etc.

    I would walk up to the main house each day at 11 :00 am for our one meal of the day. We were able to have a small breakfast at 7:00 at the cottage.
