It was dad’s birthday yesterday and today we’re leaving London for the countryside for five days. We’re starting off in Kent, driving down to the New Forest, along the coast in Dorset, up towards Somerset, through to Buckinghamshire and back to London via Heathrow on Monday.

The weather forecast looks excellent with 20-25C and sunshine, so I am sure we will have a great time. I love the English countryside, it is so picturesque.
