New Forest July 2013




The weather was fabulous as we made our way down to Charlotte's caravan


We've stayed there before and they always make us welcome and look after us really well. 
This friendly horse is in the field behind the caravan. 

                                       
                         

On Friday morning we went to the beach. It was warm enough for Val and Rog to go for a swim
 
Beautiful views.

On Friday  afternoon noon we went for a walk. This was a special tree apparently,it was called The site of the Naked Man but gave no further info. Very weird. Just a little plaque right above Med's head!


                                                
On Saturday we got the little ferry to Mudeford. It's the place with the expensive beach huts.

The blokes in hats
          
 The ladies without ! 
      
Lots of sunshine again.
                             

    Not many people around when we got there but it was heaving when we left.
   
On Sunday morning we did a cliff top walk from a place called Barton on Sea. The views were fabulous but as it was so hot it was all a bit hazy.
The Isle of Wight.

The golf course at Barton on Sea, looks as if it is in Spain.

On Sunday we went to some local gardens. It was only small but absolutely lovely. The owners had created different themes, one of which was a Japanese Garden. As well as the usual plants there was a pond of Koi Carp. They were monsters. Very tame, you could stroke them.
We bought a bag of food and there was a right old argy bargy  to get there first. The noise they made was incredible.

                                            
                                       
                                          All very lovely and peaceful. This garden was part of the National Gardens Scheme, private gardens that open for charity.
                                     
                                   
             
   
And finally .........
 Saga's latest model struts his stuff.
