England in August

Daryl and his son, Ben in Lymington.
To celebrate gold medal winners in the Olympics, Royal Mail Post  Boxes were painted gold in the town of the champions.  Ben Ainslie lives in Lymington, but his box was painted in Cornwall, where he grew up.  One local decided to paint a box for Ainslie just across the high street from where he actually lives.  Good One!
A night out with good friends, Trevor and Lesley, whom we met in Turkey.

Daryl and I took his dad out for a day to visit 'The Victory', in Portsmouth.  It was launched in 1765.  Best known for being Lord Nelson's ship in 1805 at the battle of Trafalgar.
Went down to Lymington Yacht Basin to see some of the boats and could not resist a photo of the Morris dancers on the quay, dancing around with great enthusiasm!
