First Adventure of the Year..Dorking!

Wooh, as I said before, my guy John has a bad habit of trying to Kidnap me and taking me to some random town in England..I have seen Stonehenge, Isle of Wright and Reading that way. This time it was a bit closer to home, as we went to Dorking and Leatherhead. The plan was to just to go Dorking for the weekend but the whole travel lodge was full of people. We travelled back to Leatherhead and stay there for the night.The room was 101 guarded by a swan that looked demented.Seriously look!

Dorking, for those who don't know,is just outside Kingston in Surrey. It also has something of a cock fetish..Everywhere we went we saw them..And us being us had to pose by them too.. Hmm,


Even the Shops could not resist...

The town was small and completely different to London.Honest! I could not see a chav, graffiti or any rubbish there. It had such a peaceful vibe to it, with people being helpful and Polite. Could help that there was no young souls there and the average age seemed to be 50 plus. Scary Statues though..One looked like a wizard from Harry Potter- About to Cast an evil spell!
Once I realised he was just a composer I was quite upset..Anyway despite going into town and seeing there was several good restaurants to choose from, we still managed to spend every meal time at Frankie and Benny's..Granted that it was just outside the Travel Lodge and there was free refills of hot drinks, it was shameful the staff kept recognising us and gave us the same seats! The food was so good though. In the two days we stayed we tried all the Veggie dishes on offer between the two of us.Good times Ah well..Pity the time could not have been longer..
In fact we were there so much they gave us a free Mince pie each. How bad is that..?
Still I will leave you with some Dorking facts to chew on..

-The Dorkings Emblem, the unique 5 toed cockerel was left by the Romans Is a Chicken with the Same name.. -Abinger Common (5 miles from Dorking) is the oldest village in England with dwellings dating back 7,000 years -Underneath the town lie the Dorking Caves which are open occasionally to the public. -
