Shop, buy, care, run, bike, support local New Forest blog
Shop, buy, care, run, bike, support local! Round up of what's been happening and is upcoming Lymington and New Forest Friday 20 November Our Weekly What’s On e-newsletter introduction would have been just too long this week hence a blog for a change!

If we all do it, often enough, it will make a difference: it will help our local businesses pull through and save jobs, and it will mean that next year and in years to come we will still have a local economy and a thriving local community too.

Read on below! But before you do so, just in case you…Read More

New Forest local marketing on a budget - Winter 2020 How to make the most of your marketing in difficult times So here we are then, a second national coronavirus lockdown in place, businesses and families in the midst of a very hard year.

We all struggle on regardless, putting a smile on our faces and desperately trying to save money wherever we can. Often, the first thing to be chopped at times of difficulty is the marketing budget (if indeed there…Read More

Linden House Lymington wins annual scarecrow competition
Scarecrows in Lockdown! Linden House Lymington win the Colten Care homes annual scarecrow competition Residents at Colten Care's 21 care homes across the south managed despite Covid restrictions and lockdown to stage a fun contest to make the best scarecrow.

Culinary themed Hazel Nut the Chef sees off the challenge of 20 other care homes Entries ranged from traditional countryside-type scarecrows stuffed with paper and straw to more ‘refined’ models; and by serving up a culinary-themed scarecrow ‘Hazel Nut the Chef’, residents from Lymington's specialist dementia care home Linden House were declared the winners.

Tales of sun, salt and Lymington by New Forest Mark and Hugh
Our star, our sun, our salt, our Lymington, and more! Mark and Hugh's local history column this week features the life which once sustained Lymington and continues with contemplation of some marvellous magnitudes! Our star, provider of all life on Earth. At the moment I am living in a camper van in a field on a hill with no electricity; just a solar panel on the roof and a diesel heater which is driven by the leisure battery. As you will be painfully aware, the last three weeks have been rather dreary with never ending grey skies containing seemingly limitless supplies of rain. I am volunteering at a campsite where we are building a sort of outdoor kitchen in a…Read More
