Well I am in the new forest. There is a wifi network available!! Flipping hell this is high tech!!
So just for Blondie I took some pictures of New Forest Ponies and their foals (techy term for young).
Naughty Horsey!!
Ah more modest ;)
Then on to Eyeworth Pond. Kingfisher zipped across as soon as I arrived!!
I was hoping for Mandarin Duck
and some new Dragons and Damesels, well no joy there so you'll just have to put up with....
Common Blue Damsel I think
Blue Tailed Damsel
Red Eyed Damsel
And another Common Blue I think
Oh some other bits and pieces.
I realised I was near St Mary Hale which was on my list and.....
... it was open so 615
Then onto Breamore for lunch. A nice Cheese and ham toastie with a guest.
Besides me a nice house Breamore has a very fine country side museum presenting life in a bygone era.
Breamore church is one I've done before. It's a Saxon church and dates to about 1000AD
The house is viewed by a guided tour which is pretty good. Its a nice house with some decent paintings a Van Dyck, Canaletto, Tenniers and some excellent Tenniers tapestries. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous photos Pete. Looks like you are having a grand time. Keep them coming.
The female mandarin is much better camouflaged than the male. I wonder if this is reflected in the survival rate?
Fabulous. Do the church windows really look as gorgeous as that, or is it the way you take the photos
:-))
Loved the old couple with their milk round, what great honest faces they had.
Don't need to say - have a good time, you lucky devil!
