Clearview Stove
A little home improvement ...first it was an open fire...
..and now it is this amazingly efficient woodburning stove.
And we just love it!
Walk the New Forest
Walk 1 - The Rufus Stone
The walk starts from the Rufus Stone. This monument may be a little disappointing. Not so the surrounding area, which is a pleasant blend of Forest lawn, open woodland, and quiet hamlets.
About the Rufus Stone: William Rufus, the second Normand king of England and son of William the Conqueror, was a thoroughly nasty character, despised by all his subjects. His brother Henry and Sir Walter Tyrell were among the hunting party on that fateful August day. All accounts agree that an arrow shot after a stag by Sir Walter glanced off the animal or a tree and struck the king in the chest, killing him instantly.
..looking gorgeous darling, all ready for the photoshoot?
...sorry Hun, siesta time
Sir Walter Tyrell pub, a welcome stop for refreshments and the place where the first chapter ends. Fancy a pint?

The White Wizard
The White Wizard had so much fun in December watching all the events triggered by his magic that he decided to do it again in January. But this time it all happened in our little village, Sway, a lovely place in New Forest. And we stayed close to follow the sparkling wand.
The magic started one afternoon before Christmas, in a place called Basingstoke, the town where I work. Unable to get home from work due to snow, ice, a bus blocking the road, lots of panicked and frustrated drivers etc, my Knight decided to come to my rescue. The result: Mr Snowy White was born, followed by a proper snowball fight around 9.30 PM.
