this 'dark early' time of year has its own special peace as we gently move towards the solstice

Glorious setting for a waterside walk #riverhamble #curbridge

We had a lovely meal in #theJollySailor on the #RiverHamble to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. If you’re looking for an enjoyable meal with a pleasant ambiance in that part of #Hampshire, I’d very much recommend it. It’s famous for featuring in #HowardsWay.
Can also be reached by boat.

Fantastic work currently taking place on the #RiverHamble. A chalk streams which only flows at high groundwater levels, dry since the summer last year, its great to see the water slowly returning to this #Winterbourne enabling us to see the impacts of the restoration work.

I didn’t know the Kingfisher was called Icebird in German and Dutch. It seems they’re not easy to spot in the Netherlands. I happened to see one on the Hamble many years ago. I wonder if any are still there now the country park has so many visitors? #RiverHamble
