Phil's 40th and a New Forest Weekender, Hordle and Barton-on-Sea, Hampshire - 13th July 2007
It's Phil's 40th and he's over from the US, so Nosher and Isobel head down to the south coast, for the second time in a month, to meet up. The do is in Hordle village hall and we're a bit late on account of crap traffic on pretty much all the roads down, where a 2.5hr journey turns in to 4. Anyway, we still just about make it in time. The next day, we hang out with Sean's kids for a while, before heading off for a walk around the New Forest and a trip back to Barton-on-Sea beach, and this time it's not lashing down.
