Our destination today was Winchester.
It was me who picked Winchester as I really wanted to go to see the 1920's dress exhibiton at the Discovery Centre which is due to end next week and I also thought we could go to Winnall Moors for a bit of fresh air.
Our first stop once we had arrived actually turned out to be Cath Kidston. I've never been to one of her shops and although I would have liked to have soaked up all the visual treats for a bit longer I did manage a quick scout round and a couple of purchases.
We wandered down the high street and found a sign directing us up to St Giles Hill. So after walking up many steps
we had great views over the City from this high spot. Clicking on the link will show much better photos than the ones I took of it. Instead of those here's one of my tribe having a sit down!
Back down to the city centre again we decided it was time for lunch and went to an American themed diner called Buddy's. The walls are decorated with famous faces from film and music from the 1950's.

When we finally left the diner it was gone 2.30pm and we were struggling to find the nature reserve as there wasn't a sign post to be found. We did however find 2 things which caught our eye.
Watch out!

Eventually we did find Winnall Moors and the walk around only took us half an hour or so which is probably just as well as by then, as you can see from the photos, the sun was getting low and it was becoming nippy.
And this was the view over the park just as we left and began walking back to the train station for a hot drink in the cafe.
Such a lovely family day.
