A New Forest summer evening’s ramble…
Lovely weather for the most part in England at present, and on Thursday evening about a dozen of us went for a post-work six mile ramble in the New Forest, a circular walk starting and ending at the Sir Walter Tyrrell pub, and here are some of the resulting pictures….

A Queen Elizabeth II post-box encountered on the way round…

Some of my fellow-ramblers…
We encountered surprisingly little bird-song on the way round, but there were cattle…
…including this wary youngster…
…and a pony or two…

The front of the Sir Walter Tyrrell, shortly before we left for home around half-nine in the evening…
…and this photo was taken a few days earlier in Titchfield…
