After wine night, we woke up for a late breakfast. We stayed on the table for a while as we continued to catch up with everyone. That morning, we confirmed that my cousin Sampa loves to cook and put together some more breakfast options.
After breakfast, we headed to Mr Straw’s House which is right next to my uncles house.
Mr. Straw’s House is an Edwardian house with displays of Victorian furniture, family mementos and a garden. It one of a few National Trust properties that offers a glimpse into the life of regular citizens in the early 1900s.
We toured a little bit of Worksop, and drove into Shefield.
On the way to the train station so as to head back to London, we continued with exploring as we saw the woods where Robin Hood used to stunt in; explored neighboring towns; admired different architectures. After that, we jumped on the National rail train. We made a short visit, and had to take off early so as to avoid the rush hour.

The flowers Nelly got made it to the hotel unharmed – after I had to carry them across London. We asked the hotel for a vase where we safely stored them. At least they offered one to us. The hotel continued to be a problem, as the bar tender refused to serve Nelly and I any food or drink. The guy had some issues – but we alerted the hotel management.
