Marwell Zoo
We spent the weekend near Winchester. We stayed at the Marwell Hotel, which had a rather fine tasting menu. It was about eight courses with matching wines. The wines were generous portions and the courses were rather excellent. For once, I failed to pick up a copy of the menu, but thought it was a good selection (I remember egg, cod and pork being among the dishes) and, for once, went back and forth between white and red wines.
We visited Marwell Zoo on the Saturday morning.
Otter feeding time was probably the funniest part of the visit - they make a lot of noise!
On Saturday afternoon we headed into Winchester and took a pilgrimage up to the hospital and the unit where the twins spent the first month of their lives. We didn't go in - but it was odd to be back again.
Sunday evening we ate in the bar, dodging a large number of wedding guests. Again the food was good - I had burger & chips and chocolate fondant. Also I tried both passion fruit and violet gins. The former tasted great, the latter was a lovely purple.
All-in-all a great weekend.
