Re-visited

On Friday we decided to make a return visit to


We had such a lovely day out there at the start of the year and had wanted to visit the Winnal nature reserve again in better weather.

We sat in this spot for ages watching T and S playing on this little deck letting their hands trail in the cool, clear water

until they could resist no longer and off came the shoes and socks. Whilst I was laying down taking this photo G used his camera to take a couple of shots of my backside. I won't be sharing those, in fact I hit the delete button as soon as they were downloaded!

A quick zip into Primark was required as T needed new footwear. Whilst having a very rapid browse I spotted this Tshirt in the girl's department. As much as I love it (and S did too) it didn't come home with us because being white it wouldn't last more than a couple of wears before it would be white with non removable stains!

We then wandered down to the river to eat our lunch where a photo shoot was taking place. How pretty the model looked, the sun highlighted the sparkles on her dress and jewellery so she twinkled.

This was our view as we ate. I wonder how much these properties cost?!

After lunch and another reapplication of sun cream, we went to have a look around the ruins of Wolvesey Castle which had been once been the home to the Bishop's of Winchester.

I was hoping this would be a good place for T and S to play hide and seek, but it was declared to not be as not as good as their beloved Netley Abbey.
