Hampshire

As promised, here are some of the pictures I took in Hampshire the week before last, starting with a visit to the Mid-Hants Railway or Watercress Line. This is Ropley Station on a gorgeous sunny morning.
There are some very pleasant walks alongside the rivers Alre and Itchen and I managed to drag my OH and his dodgy knees out for an amble around Alresford. This is Alresford Old Pond, beside which is a very pleasant pub. It's lovely to sit outside on a summer evening so long as you're happy to be eaten alive by the humongous midges!
This pretty house sits astride the River Alre and was once a fulling mill. Now it's a private home and I think it's gorgeous!
Light and shade and a little brown duck on the River Alre:
This is Romsey Market Place on a very changeable afternoon. Fortunately, it didn't rain until after we'd made it back to the car and were halfway back to our hotel!
