Park by the beach

Will in a jeep this time
 He loves a steering wheel. 






Daughter took myself and Will To Royal Victoria Country Park for an afternoon's walk in the sun. the park is close to where we live, but I have not been there before. It's free to enter, but we did have to pay to park the car.
The grounds are beautiful, loads of lawns with plenty of trees for shade, nice paths through the trees for walking, and the grounds drop to the shore line, where at the entrance is Foley refinery, which you can see in some of my photo's, and further in, the port of Southampton.
We sat and watched all sizes of boats sail by, it was really peaceful, Will fast asleep in his pushchair, the play area was a perfect spot for him to run around and use the last of his energy.
Every where is lovely when the sun shines, but we agreed we should come back with a picnic, and more time to run about.
Hubby lit the BBQ and we ate outside, later watching Chelsea Flower Show, so much beautiful colour.
This morning we have a few errands to do, and then later rest at home, tomorrow we are driving to Somerset, family time and home again on Sunday.

  5. What a lovely place. It is relaxing to sit and watch boats go by. I am watching Chelsea Flower show on tv. Every year I say I will go but never happens. Maybe next year. Enjoy Somerset.

  9. Now there's some memories. When we were in Hampshire I had a good friend who lived in Sholing. A few times when visiting her we had a walk around the RVCP. Nice place.
