    Red House & Garden Christchurch

    12 avril, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    A former Georgian workhouse, the Red House is now a museum exploring the story of Christchurch from before the Ice Age to modern times.

    The workhouse

    The building dates from 1764 and was the parish workhouse for Christchurch and Bournemouth. In 1886, as a result of the increasing population, a new union workhouse was built in Fairmile and the old house was sold to the vicar of Christchurch Priory, the Reverend T. H. Bush. Reverend Bush named the building ‘The Red House’ after the colour of the bricks and he demolished the women’s wards in 1887 to construct the stables, now the temporary exhibition gallery.

    A workhouse was somewhere that people who had no job and no home could come and live with their family. This building could house up to 130 inmates, and included dormitories, a school room, separate yards for men, boys and girls, a hospital and a laundry.    En savoir plus

    Highcliffe Castle

    10 avril, Angleterre ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

    Highcliffe Castle has been described as arguably the most important surviving house of the Romantic and Picturesque style of architecture, which flourished at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century.

    It is of international importance too as a large amount of medieval French masonry was shipped across the Channel and used in its construction. It is this Norman and Renaissance carved stone, along with the Castle’s Gothic revival features and ancient stained glass, that make it appear older than it is.

    The Castle was built between 1831 and 1836 and is the realisation of one man’s fantasy, Lord Stuart de Rothesay. When he built it he was following in the footsteps of his grandfather the 3rd Earl of Bute, who had built an earlier mansion on the site during the 1770s

    Over the years the great and the good, the famous and the gifted have visited, and sometimes stayed, at the Castle. Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses have come as guests. Kaiser Wilhelm -in order ‘to live the life of an English gentleman’. William Gladstone, four times Prime Minister, Nancy Mitford the best-selling author and
    Dame Nellie Melba, the Australian soprano (after whom the dessert Peach Melba is named) was a friend of the family and sang in the Wintergarden when she came to stay.

    Fire and Neglect at the Castle! After it ceased to be a family home, with most of its contents sold or bequeathed, the fortunes of the Castle fluctuated. It was a Children’s Home for a short period in the early 1950s, then for 13 years the Claretian Fathers used the building as a seminary training students for the priesthood. Just before they moved out tragedy struck as fire ripped through the Great Hall. A more devastating fire followed the next year, when the Castle was owned by local businessmen. Then for two decades the Castle was left a neglected ruin, exposed to the weather and vandals.    En savoir plus

    Christchurch - Priory

    9 avril, Angleterre ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Christchurch Priory is an ecclesiastical parish and former priory church in Christchurch in the English county of Dorset (formerly in Hampshire). It is one of the longest parish churches in the country and is as large as many of the Church of England Cathedrals.

    The story of Christchurch Priory goes back to at least the middle of the 11th century, as the Domesday Book of 1086 says there was a priory of 24 secular canons here in the reign of Edward the Confessor. The Priory is on the site of an earlier church dating from 800AD.    En savoir plus

    Southampton

    17 janvier, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    Southampton ist eine wichtige Hafenstadt an der Südküste Englands, reichlich bekannt, da hier die berühmt-berüchtigte RMS Titanic im Jahre 1912 zu ihrer ersten und letzten Jungfernfahrt aufbrach. Auch heute ist die Stadt Heimathafen zahlreicher Kreuzfahrtschiffen, die zu den größten der Welt zählten.

    To Southampton … via London

    2 décembre 2024, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F

    Our travel luck held! We are now settled into our room at the Southampton Holiday Inn … 90 minutes earlier than expected!

    The first bus ride — from Stansted Airport to the Victoria Coach Station in London — was uneventful. We even got a surprise ‘free’ panoramic tour of London that gave us glimpses of some of the city’s iconic landmarks … Big Ben and Parliament; London Bridge; the Thames and the London Eye … amongst others.

    Once we reached the coach station, we were able to switch from our 7:00p ticketed departure to an earlier bus at 5:30p. We had just enough time to grab some yummy meat pies for a quick dinner before it was time to board the bus.

    Getting out of London was the worst part of our travel day. It took about 45 minutes to do so in stop-and-go rush hour traffic. It was a bit chilly on the bus … even with the extra layers National Express had strongly suggested we bring with us. Once on the motorway, however, it was smooth going. Nightfall hid from our eyes what was outside the windows, so I whiled away the time by reading my book; Mui napped.

    A short Uber ride from the Harbor Parade Coach Station in Southampton brought us to our hotel; Deniz took a cab to his hotel. We will meet up at the cruise terminal tomorrow.

    Time to get some shuteye now.

    Endlich auf dem Schiff!

    6 octobre 2024, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Nach einer fast endlosen Busfahrt sind wir endlich auf dem Schiff angekommen. Den langen Weg vom CheckIn bis zur Sicherheit auf dem Schiff wurde die Mensch gerollt, so dass es dann doch etwas schneller ging. Emma, Betti, GG und Jollita studieren das Programm des Abends und lernen die Kabine kennen. Nicky und ich streunen schon mal über das Schiff und genehmigen uns einen Begrüßungs Tonic. 😜En savoir plus

    Day Two Cycle Isle of Wight

    28 septembre 2024, Angleterre ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

    Day Two : We departed Yarmouth, following the directions on our self guided cycling tour of the Isle of Wight. The total bike journey today was 39km to The White Mouse Inn at Chale.
    Departing Yarmouth on our cycles we followed a narrow dirt path through long corridors of overgrown forest forming a never ending canopy over the trail. I was imagining Robin Hood and his merry band of thieves would leap out from the undergrowth at any moment.
    After meandering our way through the forest it opened up in to a clearing and we were pleasantly surprised by beautiful white swans swimming gracefully around in an estuary. Their back drop was a lovely stone bridge.
    Along the way we discovered The Needles which are some of the world’s most photographed rocks. They looked like they were made of chalk! The site was also the location of the world’s first permanent Wireless Station! It was completed in 1897.
    We snacked on flapjacks ( UK version of an oat muesli bar) and a brownie while gazing out over the English Channel. So pretty and to think that France is just across the water.
    We spent the afternoon cycling along the windswept coast line. At times we left the busy road and discovered little villages with quaint old churches and houses with thatched roofs. We also travelled up narrow lanes lined with tall hedges. We passed crops of corn and cauliflower. Not many sheep or cattle here.
    Tonight we’re resting at The White Mouse Inn which overlooks the ocean. Hoping for a sunset but seems it could be too cloudy. We dined on scampi and bangers & mash and were treated to live music on a Saturday night.    En savoir plus

    Southampton

    4 août 2024, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    I am so tired right now, but it was a great day wandering Southampton!

    I got woken up before 7 to someone trying to get into my room (one of the cleaning people or whatever, which I don't know why as I had my do not disturb sign up!!) so that was fun. It was loud and my lock was on so they couldn't open the door, but they were trying. Then I couldn't get back to sleep so I had a relaxed morning as I was so sleepy and then headed out about 10 to spy on what I could spy on.

    The weather was gorgeous! Sun with some clouds and a light breeze. Perfect temp for a wander. We were docked farther west than we left from and I was surprised by how close it was to the train station! I was walking into town, was going to go to a grocery store as I was looking for some sweets, and the train station was right there! They also had all of these lighthouses up around the city and there was a map of their locations and such. I saw so many groups of people, families, rushing around trying to see all of them and I am not sure why. Maybe they had limited time or something. I did enjoy wandering and spying them as most were really pretty.

    I went to the grocery store looking for Parma Violets as I wanted to try them and forgot last time I was here. They either had to make something with them or someone made something that tasted like them on the British Bakeoff and they sounded interesting (delicately perfumed violet sweets). At first I found them oddly sweet and not as perfumy as I would have expected, but they grew on me. I like them!

    Then I wandered to find something for lunch. I ended up walking by this sourdough pizza place that had a special roasted eggplant pizza so I had to try that and it was so good! The dough was delicious and the toppings as well. It was so much better than my disappointing pizza when I was first in Southampton!

    I found that north and east of the train station were much nicer than the area of town where I had wandered before. There were lots of big parks and I sat and read for a while after lunch and it was really nice. On my way back to the boat I stopped to get a milkshake...that ended up being chocolate milk So disappointing!!

    Got back on the ship and I am on the perfect side! Mainland Europe will be out my window and I am now on the sunset side of the boat also! One more day and then I will be in Hamburg!!

    I went down to spy on the show tonight, a 60's band, to see what they were like. They are going to be playing the dance venue tomorrow night so I wanted to see what they were like....and they were awful. I was like well, I guess no dancing for me! Oh well, I am still having fun :)    En savoir plus
