WHEELS FESTIVAL IN BOURNEMOUTH

















































Occupied would be understatement, busy falls under an exaggeration so let's settle for three days full of activity of all sorts. I mentioned in the last post about Wheels Festival we had opportunity to witness over the weekend advertised as Britain's biggest wheels themed family events across the town and seafront. We contentedly watched motorcycle stunts from afar and had beautiful and historic classic cars racing so close that their bygone charm made up for any noise they made. We're so lucky to be living in a place that surprises us every day with well-known and totally and utterly new things happening within its boarders. We walked all afternoon until the sunset then headed back home passing by our shoreline bestudded in carrousels, candy floss stalls and bouncy castle abandoned for the night. So as long as there are things to do and admire, we're all so so in.

Those stunts, guys. A taste of what people are doing in their free time while others are thrill-seeking elsewhere. They're meant to be admired and we did just so.

Did I mention the race course? On the streets of our town prepared for swishing and whooshing way before the event took place. We learned where it was okay to cross the road and where we needed more than a guide to blend in and stay safe. Forget Monaco, change a lifestyle and stay with us for the weekend. I only wished this was your thing. xx

'I want this at home'
Reading everything that's important























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































It's amazing how beautiful things grow just behind our backs. I almost pass these incredible 10 acres of gardens traveling to work yet has never wandered around them, investigated each part of muscular features of statues such as Bacchus or the Wrestlers of Herculaneum and breathed in the mature pine wood. Until yesterday. The morning started off with a light packing for a trip to Compton Acres, a home of themed gardens of which - as for a shade only tolerant person - my favourite one was called Wooded Valley with winding pathways and dramatic waterfalls. My eyes also enjoyed an idyllic Japanese spot where together with Nadia we fed fish, jumped on the stones dipped in deep water and ran up and down the rhododendron-clad hills. I'm still overwhelmed by how full of energy Nadia was and how an amazing time she had feeding salmon-looking-like fish almost jumping out of water to get a bread crumb.

To end the day me and my friend got to buy the same book where and when to go for our future escapades and planned some autumn activities before the colder season hugs British Islands again.

Sitting comfortably having legs propped up on a chair, giving my sides a laughing therapy, a headache or an assertiveness lesson I was curious to step onto the ground where pages were almost filled in and story was coming to an end. I looked forward to seeing the backyard where Sense and Sensibility was born. No more than satisfying weather, relaxed moods and Nadia by my side was needed to complete that day (and my friend as terrified driver).

We picked up a small cottage near Winchester where two hundred years ago women enjoyed gardening and needlework as well as a genius of one of them had flourished among Clementi piano she practised on every morning before breakfast, novels collected in the reading room or borrowed from the circulating library she read aloud to entertain visitors and two carriage donkeys she kept in her family. The first photo was taken close enough to Jane Austen's Museum to still get lost. In no time we found our way to greet the spirit of shy footsteps treading within the brightly wallpapered walls. I was eager to see the little table by the window in the dining parlour Jane was writing her novels on but even more excited to breathe in the deep smell of wooden floors, cut grass and see the sun light coming through the windows as Jane saw it lifting her head up from her writing. In the kitchen situated in the wing at the back of the house me and Nadia tried to write with a goose feather. One message to other visitors took us a while due to the ink drying so quickly. At last we looked through the shop situated in converted barn for souvenirs and books where I purchased two booklets with witty illustrations for Austen's books. Nadia enjoyed the outer space more running and dancing in the middle of the garden but above all I loved her sitting on the window seat watching the quietness of the village. I knew she could pause even for a second. On our way home we ate Italian food in nearby Winchester and almost got soaked in the sudden evening rain pour.

'I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.'
