When not attending to garden tasks what other things have filled your day?

Just thought it might be nice to share what we've been up to , places we've been to, hobbies we've found time to enjoy etc.

We tend to stick fairly local these days, although we still have a car we both don't drive anymore. Living where we do we are very fortunate to be in easy reach of a lot of the South Coast and London is only a short and easy train ride from here too.
Still wrestling with post surgery healing this year we have taken things at a slightly slower, easier pace. This doesn't stop us though as we like to get out and about at least on 3 days each week. Even sticking locally doesn't stop us from discovering or seeing something new!!

Share if you wish please, it will be nice to learn more about your interests or places near to where you live .

 

Ok I will start us off.

Yesterday we decided to pop into Winchester.....about 5 miles away. It's my favourite of our local cities... full to overflowing with history.

We just sat out in one of the main parks yesterday with a picnic lunch and then walked a short walk along the river.

The place was buzzing with coach loads of tourists and walking tour groups.

Good old King Arthur protecting his City.

River Walk.

 

Looks lovely to go to.

We haven't got much here but there is the man made lake.

Thank you @Oreti and @Logan for sharing the video tours of beautiful areas of England.

 

I lived near Salisbury for a while @Oreti Worked on Clarendon Palace for many months.

Apart from Gardening I've been building a saw horse in the past few days, I'll take a pic tomorrow

 

And here's the Trojan Saw Horse

 

Put a top on that and you have, to quote Yogi Bear,
"a Pic-a-nic table" .

 

Zigs that’s the fanciest saw horses I ever saw.. nice..

What's happening......how did we get to Yogi Bear videos!!!

You've had some nice trips out recently @Logan....(a good way of making sure you rest your wrist) .It's surprising what interesting places can be found on our own doorsteps. I often have a quick Google the night before we have one of our ' out & about' days to see whats going on locally or very nearby.

Today just off to Southampton , as we have an appointment to attend. Hoping to fit in a visit to one of the Art Galleries and will also have a meal out.

 

Thank you @Oreti, hope that you have a good day.

 

It all started with Zigs pic of his Saw horses.

 

I thought as much!!!
