I have been so excited at the thought of my long weekend in Hampshire (i loved Howard`s Way as a child!) and have been dreaming of antiques, cream teas and quaint country villages!
We arrived in the quaint village of Lymington as it was getting dark and thought we`d discovered a hidden away harbour with a lovely pub for our tea….
Not so hidden away after a proper look around the quaint village of Lymington the next day.
It rained a lot, but everything still looked beautiful…
I want to live here!….
or here….
Oyster cottage had the view below….
or in a cottage with this miniature wonky doorway…
The best thing about Hampshire was it made me feel so relaxed it was like we were abroad, i was excited to discover ponies wandering around at the side of the roads…..
there were vine yards and farm shops on the road side, which made me feel i could be in New Zealand or France…. amazing pubs with real fires and homemade food, cream teas, antique shops and harbours everywhere routed me back in the englishness of it all!
