The Big 60

 To celebrate my husband's birthday, I planned a mini break for us in Lymington on the coast of the New Forest.

Day 1

En route we stopped at the New Forest Cottage Garden for a look around and a spot of lunch.

Continuing our journey we arrived at Lymington and had a lovely walk.

Time to check into our hotel.

Day 2

The next morning we drove to Hurst Spit for a walk along the shingle spit to Hurst Castle.

Hurst Castle was built by Henry VIII and later enlarged.

The natural habitat surrounding the castle was outstanding.

Day 3

An evening walk at Hengistbury Head.

Day 4

Heading home via the rose garden at Mottisfont.

Back home in time for cake.
