Adventures
I've always wanted to take a random train out of London and just get off at a station close to the countryside where there are endless vast meadows and fields. I finally convinced the BF to go on such an adventure with me (wasn't easy!), and last Saturday we took a train from London Wimbeldon towards the southeast. We ended up getting off at the end station, which was a town called Guildford. We tried to figure out through the name how it would be down there while on the train. Maybe there's some kind of guild there, so we guessed that everyone in that town is into something, like fencing or horseback riding or whatever.
Actually, we didn't plan to get off at the end station. We looked out the window the entire way, and agreed to get off at any station as long as there were meadows nearby. However, all the meadows were in between two stations, and it would take hooours to walk to one if we got off at any of the two stations, and we were too lazy to walk. Eventually, as the train approached Guildford, we had no choice but to get off and just explore the Guild-place and see if people there actually do engage in any specific activity.
Initially, the place looked like any other English small town. Then we spotted this beautiful grassy hill, so we got some sandwiches and climbed towards the top of the hill. It was quite a high hill, and we had to go to the toilet in the middle, so we went to search for a potential nature toilets. Eventually, after all the hassle, and risking being stung by nettles every footstep, and stopping to admire the grassy hill and view, and complaining about insects, we managed to reach the top.
On our way down, we took another route, and ended up walking among huge, beautiful mansions. I wouldn't hesitate to accept one if some generous person gave me one of those! BF said he would buy one if the price was cheaper than his flat in London! We found our way to the town centre and did some shopping and then went home with the train, sooo effing tiiired.
We encountered some strange things during our stay there. Like this weird insect stuck to a pole, which none of us dared to touch cause it looked quite exotic and poisoness:
Then I saw some heart-shaped leaves that were very pretty!
When we were on top of the hill and looked up at the sky, BF spotted this piece of cloud shaped like a pony, or whatever animal your imagination tells you. To me it looks more like a running dog with short ears.
I want to go on more adventures and see cooler and stranger things! Anyone up for one with me (as I would probably not be able to convince BF to go on another one)?
