The Riverside - February 2025

We start 2025 with "the riverside" as our topic.  It is getting harder to think of topics that we haven't already covered since we started way back in Oct 2018!


Ken - I took the 64 bus to Winchester one day and came across this heron and a couple of swans along the river behind Winchester College:





..... and then I took the 64 bus again to New Alresford on another day, where I was really lucky and got to see a kingfisher twice - skimming over the river to perch on overhanging branches.  Not surprisingly, I wasn't quick enough to photograph it!  

It would have struggled to catch this fish in the River Arle!








Gaynor - Wicken Fen in January




Steve - when you connect up all the existing potholes in Beech you get a new tourist attraction!  Bring your own canoe and try shooting the Beech Rapids!




Steve -
 I’m also getting excited at the prospect of sailing on Medstead village pond!



Over in Holybourne, Keith was thinking along the same lines:


Keith -
when it rains hard then the cemetery at Holybourne is like 
being on the bank of the river!




Don - the riverside in the snow


...and, delving back into his distant memories, Don also sent in this TV related image: 


Don - "who can forget the OF&H episode when Del Boy convinced Raquel to duet with Tony Angelino and they sang ‘Cwying’?!"





Kate - lovely walk along the River Arle in Alresford watching the swans being fed (with healthy food!)

Kate - still by the River Arle



John - Winchester City Mill


Sue - Chawton


..... and your topic for February is:

Wood
