After a good nights sleep and and very good Hilton Garden breakfast we packed our bags and headed of towards Gateshead where we are planning to visit the local Lexus Car dealer as we are currently looking/considering to change our current vehicle and we wanted to look a bitt more on what is on offer.
Our prime reason was to compare the seats of the NX F Sport car front seats against the standard and also look at colours of external as well as internal, which we succeeded to achieve. I think we have now made up out minds.
We now needed to top up the fuel tank and as Costco was only minutes away we went there for unleaded at £ 1.24 as against other 10 p per litre more expensive and then decided to stop and have a cup of tea.
From there we took a long and interesting route from Gateshead to arrive two hours later in a place called Otterborn which is a relatively small village with a couple of hotels but not far from a very large Army establishment. The hotel had pre warned us that on the second day of our stay there would be a wedding taking place with certain areas out of bounds but actually it will really no impact on us at all..
The Hotel we are staying is called Le Petit Chateau and is an amazing Hotel with lovely rooms and a good area where you can get married in a church like building and then walk five yards to start celebrating.
Jennifer went for a quick walk to the Mill, which unfortunately was closed but perhaps visit tomorrow and Noel caught up on some emails etc ..
In the evening we went to the restaurant and the food was very good with Jennifer having the chicken pie and Noel the beefburger.
Afterwards we took another walk around the Hotel and sat for a while in the lounge and then returned to the room as Noel is working on a website for the controlling of all the documentation of the estate Management review and also working with the West Surrey Badger group with regard to badgers living in the adjacent wood. This is important as they want to build 450 houses next door and this piss off the badgers immensely and also UK rules state they cannot be moved, or something along those lines.
And so to bed
