Party in the forest

It was a gathering of friends and family in the forest for Ann's 70 th and Tracy's 40 th.  Also Chris n Tracy have been married for 15 years!

We all had a fun time till midnight!  And stayed for B n B at the hotel.

Ann's birthday

After breakfast in bed I went for a walk in the New Forest with Chas n Molly.

 I heard the Cuckoo in the distance and the skylarks in the air.

When I got home after having lunch out and going to the garden centre there was all these cut flowers to admire.  Thanks to all of you who sent them.

Features of the forest

We took ourselves off to Dear Leap in the New Forest for a walk round in the sunshine.

 The pine trees stand tall...

 until they fall!

Some heather and silver birch in the open heath land.

Hill Head, Hampshire

We went to visit Hill Head when the tide was up.

It was a good walk along the beach with my brother.  There was a cool easterly wind and it was so misty the Isle of Wight could not be seen across the Solent.
