Took this image today. The River Avon at Fordingbridge. Note the fishermen by the waters edge. In normal times they would be up to their necks in water or being pushed downstream by the current to the weir. The riverbank is by the grass. Need a lot of rain to restore the levels to normal. #NewForest
Fishermen on the waters edge on the River Avon at Fordingbridge. nice scene except the riverbank is way back by the grass. Rain badly needed.

Today I have mostly been gardening before the autumn rain arrives. Lawns mowed, lavender pruned, daffs planted. Bought some lawn feed but lawns still very dry so waiting for rain. Hopefully some spring colour next year. #Gardening

Out in the #NewForest this morning, 1st time for several months due to the heatwaves. Distinct lack of water everywhere but hopefully rain due next week. However there is always 1 idiot who has played with matches.
Remains of a fire. The surrounding vegetation is very dry and the location which is known locally as The Submarines Pen, is not easily reached by vehicles.The heather is in full colour now with the bracken changing colourSome form of shelterJust after taking this image 5 deer ran across right to left.

The latest ECWMF seasonal forecast indicates that it will turn increasingly wet through autumn - which is likely linked to super strong El Nino forecast to develop later this year - which tends to fuel an enhanced Atlantic storm track into Europe.

The River Avon at Fordingbridge Hants. In 30 years I have never seen this chalk river so low. No rain in the forecast and another heatwave predicted.
I am standing in what is usually the middle of the river yet my boots are dry. Hard to believe that The George Inn does suffer with flooding

🔴🔝🔴 SFC Top 10 - highest league finishes 🔴🔝🔴 #5=: 7th in Division 1, 1981-82 season A free-scoring team featuring Kevin Keegan and Mick Channon. Scored Saints’s best ever goal (*that* team effort vs Liverpool), but had a defence that conceded more goals than all the relegated teams. #SaintsFC

🔴🔝🔴 SFC Top 10 - most appearances by Nordic players 🔴🔝🔴 #1: Claus Lundekvam (412 games, Norway) A legend who is one of only 11 men to play more than 400 games for us. A stylish centre back who became club captain. Eventually had to retire in 2008 after several operations on his ankle. #SaintsFC

🔴🔝🔴 SFC Top 10 - most goals scored by subs 🔴🔝🔴 #6=: Marians Pahars (6 goals as a sub) Saints legend, and Latvia’s most talented ever player. Joined in 1999 and was a key figure in ensuring Premier League survival that year, including his famous brace against Everton on the final day. #SaintsFC

🔴🔝🔴 SFC Top 10 - goalkeeper clean sheet % 🔴🔝🔴 #7: Peter Shilton (35.5% - 86 CS in 242 games) Unquestionably one of our greatest-ever players. We were the 4th of 5 clubs (alongside Leicester, Stoke, Nottingham Forest and Derby) for which he played more than 100 games. #SaintsFC

🔴🔝🔴 SFC Top 10 - appearances by African players 🔴🔝🔴 #8: Sadio Mane (Senegal, 75 games) One of the most talented players to ever wear red and white stripes. His fastest-ever top flight hat-trick, scored in 2m 56s vs Aston Villa, is a record which will surely outlive all of us. #SaintsFC

This photograph of the Titanic Engineers’ Memorial was taken soon after it was unveiled in April 1914, two years after the sinking. If you look closely you can see a White Star Line flag at the centre of the huge wreath that has been placed on the memorial.

Todays walk was circular from Rockbourne on the Hampshire Wiltshire boarder. Started at 8.30 to beat the forecast heat buildup.
Todays route from Rockbourne walked clockwiseThis is not a footpath but a dried up riverbed which runs alongside the road through Rockbourne. In the past the road has been impassable due to flooding!
