saturday 14th july

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!
