Andy's National Trust Travel Blogs: The Vyne, near Basingstoke
There are 500+ places of interest in the UK under the National Trust banner and I will be attempting to visit as many as I can, reporting as I do all the important stuff relative to accessibility.
The Vyne is a Tudor manor house associated with King Henry 8th and other prominent figures in history
Located near Basingstoke, it is a large estate and house, which is under repair until the end of 2017.
In my tour around the house, I was confronted in public, being told to stop filming (but stills are ok) after a staff member chatted to me regarding the GoPro and equipment, but did not just tell me - instead of going off and reporting me. Even reception made no mention of it.
I went to Old Town Swindon to the Thai Restaurant and was alone, eating som tam and masaman curry.
The premises is not very accessible due to a step and the tables are quite close so making space very tight.
Food quality was okay and price average for the UK.

This episode of the second series features useful phrases. I am not a fluent Thai speaker and cannot teach you the pronunciation but I can give you an idea of how to get by.

Hardy's Cottage is a beautiful secluded place to visit if you are following the Thomas Hardy Trail through Dorset.The cottage, just outside Higher Bockhapmton, was built by Hardy's great-grandfather in 1800 and little has been altered externally since then.
It is a popular place for tourists to visit and see where Hardy wrote Under the Greenwood Tree and Far from the Madding Crowd.
The cottage is traditionally built from cob and the thatched roof is a wonderful backdrop to the roses, honeysuckle and japonica that climb the walls. Catch the cottage on a sunny Summers day and you won't find a prettier place in Dorset to spend a couple of hours.
The cottage stands at the top of the hill off Cuckoo Lane in Higher Bockhampton and behind it stretches Egdon Heath, which Hardy wrote of in 'The Return of the Native'. Take your walking shoes and enjoy a walk through the woods and beyond into Puddletown Forest.

Station Road Travel Vlog: Staple Hill, Bristol
A unique episode as I visit this disused station and tunnel, in Bristol's Victorian suburb on a line closed by Beeching in the 1960's.
Now a cycle path, the route offers many delights for the series.

21 August 2017 Part Two
DAY 15
A lazy half of the day with personal grooming I don't get at home because we're 6,000 miles apart. A lot of activity in the house, with a lazy thai lifestyle approach to everything.
A quick school run pickup and hairdresser visits for Mum and Tad separately. Then off to the Bua Luang restaurant on the lake where we were the only customers at the end of our visit.
We then popped into the market area and I picked up a belt.
