Just posting a view across to the Isle of Wight with the sun shining. You can just see where the Hamble meets up with Southampton Water, and then you can make out the strip of Solent between the mainland and the Island.

This lovely thatched cottage is on the farm, with beautiful gardens..

A view of the gardens..... the farmhouse had originally been a Pub years ago, hence the sign!!

Had a lovely day out up at the farm at Stoke Charity a small village not too many miles away from Winchester. Beautiful farmland stretching out in the sunshine. Met up with Bill and Margaret at their daughter Nicola's farm. Whiz and Candy were with us for a break too. N is heavily involved with horses and keeps 7-8 while husband Nick farms wheat and does a lot with eco-farming etc. Beautiful house and surroundings covering about 1000 acres which is quite big for the UK! We were able to enjoy a lovely picnic in the garden and then went for a long walk enjoying the scenes. Have posted photos of Nicola with horse and pony, which was being exercised ready for eventing over the weekend, and a couple of the gardens and views. It was wonderful to be in some warm sunshine and having a complete change from the boat! xx
