we made a recent visit to where I grew up (the New Forest - they have "renamed" it a National Park now, but come on, it's the New Forest pure and simple so lets continue with this blogpost without the "up themselves" jargon)
and plus we visited some interesting places along the way...
in fact the hotel we stayed in was so near one particular memory for me, I had to take a photo or two.
{{Pain}} had been involved at the time, back in the day, but part of life when you ride horses.
look at this photo, looks innocent enough
I rode a pony for someone back in the 60's! (really, was it that long ago {shock horror} ) and rode through the New Forest. |
that's the tree - or as near as I can remember. It was certainly in that 'line' of the forest. funny how pain can be remembered 😆
the journey down
Anyway....moving on - here's where we stopped on our way down to the forest. Pepper Box Hill. It was a nice place to leg stretch and also at the tail end of the day meant there weren't too many people about - plus the views were stunning |
~ I will do another blog post about this trip and our visit to
Mottisfont Abbey ~
Watch this space as they say!

Ouch, what a painful memory! Lovely area though, can't wait to read more of this trip!
Fun memories - not!
....painful memory: Yes, it was rather, lol. I'm about to do another blog post, (they take longer to do than the trips themselves )! 🤣
Precisely....but it was nice being back there :)
What a lovely place to grow up! :)
Ooh dear, doesn't seem like a good idea revisiting painful memories!
I'll visit your link now to learn about that strange looking building :)
It is very lovely and holds a special place in my heart.
Seeing those trees and being there did remind me of the times I rode a very opinionated pony, lol.
