where did our home go? [hols #7].

The lyric actually seems fitting today, haha. As on the train, we passed where my grandparents used to live, and I spotted the house and got all nostalgic. I loved going to visit them there when I was younger...

Anyhow!

Today, was a day dedicated to me! Well, for the first part anyway. I got my wish of visiting the Round Table, and so we went to Winchester and witnessed it. It's freaking huge, I'll tell you! But, as we went through the exhibition, I realised that this wasn't the real deal.. it was just a representation that some king in the 12th Century had made, as he was quite into the Arthurian Legend. Like me I suppose. At the shop, I was planning on buying something for Aaron but I realised that a) most of it was to do with King Arthur, and I doubt he'd want that; b) There was nothing cute or computer-related; c) The normal gift stuff was being sold cheeeaaap, and I want to spend a lot on my boyfriend. So, yes, but I shall get him something soon. I bought myself a book entitled 'Worlds Of Arthur: King Arthur In History, Legend And Culture', and a postcard, that I'm using as a bookmark. The postcard has all 24 knights written down, in correlation to where they sat on the (faux) Round Table.

Here are some pictures~

After our walk around Winchester Castle (or.. whatever it was called) we walked around a couple of streets and found a cute sandwich shop. They made our sandwiches (getting one wrong but it was all cool: I mean, there were seven of us!) So we ate our sandwiches - mine had the three C's: Cheese, Chicken and Coleslaw - as we waited for our train. Back, I thought. But no...

Instead we headed to, in my opinion, one of the shitest places on earth. And no, I'm not talking about Brighton. I'm talking about Portsmouth. It smells crap, it looks crap and dull and grey, and they built their train station in the water. It was also, really cold, dreary, and there was nothing to do without spending a fortune. Here's a picture of Portsmouth in all it's glory:

So, I had a Yazoo, and we got back on the train. And got home. Yay.

And now I'm really, really tired. And Facebook is stopping me from talking to Aaron, and everything's really getting to me. So, yes, I'm unhappy.

:(

Toodles.
