This morning the weather was good. After raining, the road was a little bit slippery. As usual, every weekend will drop by at the farmer market at Eastleigh and Swan Shopping before going for any outing. Today, I was cycling to the University of Southampton. Every morning sitting in the bus and enjoying the view all the way, and today, I purposely cycled slowly, just to grasp the opportunity to have a clearer and closer view on the scenery. After 30 minutes, I arrived at the campus. Not so crowded during the weekend compared to weekdays.
Although the weather was nice and cooling, but I was still sweating when arrived at the campus. My singlet was totally wet. I was wearing 4 layers of clothes just to avoid to get cold. Wow! Cool man, all the way cycling to the campus! Fun!

BURSLEDON
Today can be considered very lucky. Cloudy day and suitable for outing. I was cycling to Lakeside Country Park in the morning, and Bursledon in the afternoon. It's tiring, but really satisfied. Bursledon is actually not that far from Eastleigh, but because the route is up down hill, so it delayed my trip. As now in UK, 4.30p.m already starts getting dark. I have to rush my time. Travelling alone, this is the only worry.
English really know how to enjoy their life. Every weekend they will bring their family go for outdoor activities. Country park is their favorite place.
The Wind mill in Bursledon is the first windmill that I visited in UK. There are many in this country in fact. But today, the wind was not strong to drive the mill. So, it was not operating. Too bad! The Manor Farm Country Park with a nice lakeside is really attractive in term of their greenary and view, especially the Pontoon Lake. I just simply locked my bike at the tree and walked down to the lakeside.
