Thinking of all those who would love a hug, in the New Forest and everywhere In these strange times I'm sure many of us are missing our hugs, especially people living alone, in fact those of us lucky enough to have partners and families living with us are very fortunate that we can still get a hug when we need one. In fact I did it myself this morning. It's my dear late mother's birthday, she died two years ago after living for 14 years with Alzheimer's, suddenly and for the first time since her death a big bawl came upon me - and then I needed my husband's hug. How pertinent. Not hugging…Read More -

Ongoing deliciously discounted dining in the New Forest After "Eat out to help out" many restaurants are continuing with their own efforts and offers The Government's "Eat out to help out" scheme in August helped to get struggling cafes, restaurants and pubs back on their feet.

New Forest drifts: 2020 dates and where to avoid
Drifts in the New Forest National Park. 2020 dates and locations to avoid due to pony round-ups. The Drift (or Round up) is an annual tradition that is carried out in many areas of the country that have wild or semi-feral stock. It is an essential part of the management of the stock to maintain the health and welfare of the animals.
