Choppy out on Southampton Water on Monday. I'm heading for the café for a warm drink and hopefully some shelter from the wind. #HambleShore #SouthamptonWater #RoyalVictoriaCP #RVCP #Netley #NetleyAbbey #Walking

Steady rain as I arrived in the Royal Victoria Country Park on Friday's walk. Sheltered under one of the big umbrellas with a cup of tea at the park café. By the time I left the rain had stopped but it looked like it might start again at any moment. Getting windy too. #RoyalVictoriaCP #RVCP #Netley #NetleyAbbey #Walking
