Enjoying retirement. A city boy who loves to get out in the country and down on the shore. Oh yes, and old buses!
Hamble Common looking towards Hamble Shore. But with the cold wind, I'm going to stay away and walk to the country park through the trees. Friday the 9th of January 2026.

A cold and windy day in Hamble on Friday. The only sheltered place was opposite the ferry pontoon, with a hedge behind the bench. Even so, not a place to stay very long. 9th of January 2026.

Hamble Shore in the sunshine but the temperature is only just above freezing. I'll find a seat in the sun for a cup of tea in the country park. Sunday 4 January 2026.

A beautiful sunny day for a walk out to Lower Swanwick and down the river Hamble to Warsash. High tide. I got my feet wet but I wasn't alone. The low sun made taking photos tricky. Sunday 4 January 2026.
