Day9
Saint Michael and All Angels
April 29, 2018 in the United Kingdom ⋅
Situated at the top of the High Street, Lyndhurst Parish Church is dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels. For a village of modest size, it’s an incredibly imposing, Gothic, primarily red-brick structure with towering 160 feet high spire that can be seen for miles around.
Constructed between 1858-69, the Parish Church was designed by William White, and is well-known for its fresco by Lord Frederick Leighton showing the parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, with biblical characters said to be modelled on local people.Read more

Day26
A walk in the New Forest
August 18, 2017 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Today we had a brilliant day getting back to nature. We headed off to the New Forest and started with a long walk through the New Forest Wildlife Park. We arrived in time to see the feeding of the Otters - some very big ones and some extremely small and cute.

The big attraction for Mary was always going to be the Butterfly House, but on the way she stopped see the Harvest Mice - so tiny and fascinating - we spent a good time there watching them. There were dozens of large butterflies to see - couldn't get a good photo of the big blue ones - but got some good photos of others. It was like a steam room - funny to be so hot in the UK!

We drove around the New Forest to places where you would love to stop for longer, Lynhurst, Minstead,Totton, Boldre, Lymington and Beaulieu. Each place had plenty of things to see and do, there were museums, marinas, market towns and pubs. Today was nearing the end of school holidays and so there were heaps of people, cars and bikes everywhere. Still it had a great holiday atmosphere.

On the drive home, through the Solent National Nature Reserve, we crossed cattle grids because there were free ranging horses/ponies and cattle all along the road - just brilliant. Large flat, moor like areas - very different from the rest of the New Forest.

Tomorrow we leave Southampton for a couple of days in Brighton - a place we decided a couple of trips ago that we needed to return to and see all the sights - let's see how we go with all the holiday makers.

Cheers,Read more

Day12
Vandring och pubmat
May 7, 2018 in the United Kingdom ⋅
Från början var det meningen att vi bara skulle gå en liten promenad på max 3 km, men som alltid skenar vi iväg helt okontrollerat. Det blev över 9kms vandring, leriga skor, och lunch på The plough inn. Plocktallrik med alla möjliga godsaker. MUMS!!

Beaulieu
October 20, 2017 in the United Kingdom ⋅
Absolutely beautiful little village built up around an Abbey, which has since been turned into a (very expensive) tourist trap. Evidently there is a Decent car museum amongst it all but we didn't have the time to spare in justifying the exorbitant entry fee.

Hurst Castle
April 24, 2017 in the United Kingdom ⋅
Heute westlich von uns eine alte Festung vom Heinrich VIII besucht (mit der Fähre) Danach durch den "New Forest" in den "Exbury Garden" schöne Rhododendren in allem Farben mit der kleinen Dampflokbahn bewundert🌼🌺🌸weiter ins Montagu-Museum, da hat Artur eine Oldtimerparade gesehen. Auf diesem Weg sind uns Ponys, Pferde und Esel begegnet. 🐎🐄Die Tiere dürfen seit urzeiten frei und ohne Einzäunung rumlaufen, sind zutraulich. Mitten auf der Straße sind uns mehrere Esel mit Fohlen begegnet, wir mußten anhalten, denn die Tiere haben Vorrang👍🏻👍🏻New Forest ist ein Naturschutzgebiet☺️☺️Read more

Unser Ausflug ging heute zu"Royal Navy Historic Dockyard" . Die Prunkstücke des Marinemuseums liegen am Pier verankert: die HMS Victory Lord Nelsons imposanter hölzerne Dreimaster , die "Mary Rose" war das Flaggschiff von Henry III , das im Jahr 1545 vor den Augen des schockierten Königs aus unbekannten Gründen sank und über 400 Jahre später, im Jahr 1982 geborgen wurde. Die "HMS Warrior" , das erste gepanzerte Kriegsschiff der Welt, war 1860 der Stolz von Königin Victoria.Read more

Eindrucksvoll krönt die romantische Burgruine aus dem Jahr 978 das sächsische Dorf Castle "Corfe Castle" . Hier wurde in dem Jahr der Sachsenkönig Edward II von seiner Schwiegermutter ermordet😛🏰Im 17 Jhd stürmte Cromwell die Burg und ließ nur noch die Grundmauern stehen. Mit der Dampflokomotivbahn gings vom Parkplatz zum Örtchen (2min Fahrt)😜😜🚃🚃🚃und zurück 😜😜😜wieder anstrengende Linksheimfahrt, 9 Stunden unterwegs, 🚗🚗Endlich zurück im Hotel🍽🍺🍸🛌Read more
