Last  Week's  Photographs

Warmer days at last and magnificent views east towards the South Downs. The fields in the valley below Stoner Hill, Petersfield are turning green as this years crops start to shoot. Only the briefest of captions this week.

One of the streams that pass through and under the City of Winchester, this one flows through Abbey Gardens. The Abbey Mill and Gardens are part of the site of St Mary's Abbey, once one of the largest religious houses in England. Today the site houses the City's Guildhall, the Mayor of Winchester's official residence and the public gardens.

The Abbey Mill, with its portico is now used by the council as offices.
