Hi all, I've had an unexpected blogging break, things got a bit manic for a while, plus I've not been feeling so good, so much for healthy eating. So we decided to take a much needed camping (although not in a tent, and no! we hven't gone to the dark side and bought a caravan) break the first week of the Easter hols.
Where did we go? The New Forest in Hampshire. We had a lovely time, nice and relaxing and for the first time in about 6 years the sun shone and it didn't RAIN!
Now for all of you out there who do not know the 'New Forest' it's the place where wild horses roam FREE!.From a distance the look cute!
But close up they look moth eaten and flea bitten
This one needs a good haircut me thinks.
Its normal to see them in the woods and fields even wandering between tents and caravans, however when they are spotted walking down the street, grazing on the village green or hanging around the village pub they are a funny sight.
We went on a visit to nearby 'Barton on sea' it was sunny and very warm, but Tyler insisted on wearing his new coat, zipped up to the neck!. Apparently his coat had special zippers under the arms that when opened kept him cool, i think the beads of sweat on his forhead said otherwise!
Not much there but sea and rocks!
'found a fossil'
'show it off'
'Ill keep it safe for you in my pocket'
And to finish the week off a visit to the local potter was in order. There was so much I could buy, but alas no room in the car,(well not unless I left one of my boys behind hmmmm! there's a thought) In the end it wasn't too much of a difficult choice, I love having a salt pig on my work surface while I cook and this clay one looks much better than my plastic one.
Of course I couldn't go all that way and not do a bit of thrifting, after all the area is a bit of a haven for the more mature folk. I did manage to bag quite a few goodies I'll have to post them later.
