The Recreation Ground

Thanks for sharing this Siris!
I love the wild life garden and photinia.

it looks a lovely area to walk in and so close to home.

A very interesting area to see and I too love the wild flower area which must look so very pretty. Saturdays with the football must bring it to life at the weekends along with the children’s playground. Lovely to see.

We used to be a village, but now we are classified as a town. Situated on the highest ground (plateau gravel)between Southampton and Winchester, in the past was called Spring Hill, cause rain falling, soaks thro the gravel then leaks out at the clay layer, and downward to The Monks' Brook, so named as the place were monks and merchants were able to cross as they proceeded to the shipyards of Nelson at Bucklers Hard, Beaulieu.

A lovely place to live near, you are lucky :)
I remember going to Bucklers Hard years ago.

Yes, Bucklers Hard rings a bell to me too … delightful place to live. Thanks for showing us round Sue, and for including the pretty wild flowers 🙂.

It is lovely around where you live, I remember visiting Bucklers Hard and Beaulieu many years ago when my brother was stationed at RAF Oakhanger plus many more beautiful places, your blog has revived many happy memories Siris..Lovely photographs ...

To the Northwest is more rural, to the Southwest Southampton, Bournemouth and The new Forest. At the junction to the motorway is a hut on 4 staddle stones that were accounted for in the Dooms Day Book (1086).

Thanks for sharing, Sue. Interesting info about your lovely area. Nice to get to know about other places in the UK. The wildflower garden is just beautiful..gorgeous mix of colour and flower.
