Living so far from home,I often find myself wanting to be there. Hampshire is a most beautiful county and the villages and countryside surrounding Andover are amongst its best.On this site you'll find a brief background to my old haunts and links to places that I call home.

Birds At Their Best
Mr Ashley Smith aided by his team of dedicated bird enthusiasts have here probably the best sanctuary I have ever seen. For an enjoyable relaxing day in the countryside I highly recommend a visit to the Hawk Conservancy
