To the person who asked the question, of course we also went into the Motor Museum when we visited Beaulieu. If I could have driven away in any car it would have been this one …
Jaguar XK140 OTS
Inside Jaguar XK140 OTS
or maybe this one …
Lotus F1 Car
then again there was this one too.
Austin Healey
Or rather than a car there was also something smaller, this little gem.
The Whisper
Rolls Royce’s lesser know hood ornament.
As it was I came away with nothing more than memories and photographs.

This image is my current desktop, and at a recent Property Committee Meeting it caused some discussion over what it actually was.
The answer is the stone floor in Beaulieu Abbey worn by years of monks feet, I think it is beautiful.
There was also this little bridge which while the hand rail is new you can see the wear that hundreds of feet have made into the stone.
And while we are on Beaulieu, how about this for a pulpit? St Mary’s Beaulieu is now the parish church in what used to be part of the Abbey.
