To bring some sunshine to a very dull January let us turn the clock back and enjoy a visit to the Hampshire coast.
While in Hampshire we drove down through the New forest avoiding cattle, donkeys, pigs and ponies on the road and down to Milford on Sea.
Just like Lymington this small seaside town overlooked the famous stretch of water, the Solent and beyond the Solent we had views of the Isle of Wight. Frequent ferries trundled passengers and vehicles over to the island and back. The Solent as expected was busy with yachts and launches.
The cliffs here defied any sense of scale. In the photos below the cliffs look as tall as any along the south coast, but in reality were merely 12 ft or so in height.
Whenever we visit the sea we look out for beach huts as they are so colourful, so full of character and a close look reveals interesting details of colour and texture. So we were delighted to come cross a small street of them at the end of our beach promenade.
As usual when we find them my camera worked hard to capture their spirit. I hope you enjoy my little gallery dedicated to them. As usual click on the first pic and then navigate with the arrows.

I love the beach huts. Does a person own one? What do you use it for? Change clothes?
They are usually owned by the local council and people rent them out. They are currently very popular again after decades of lack of interest. some new ones are now being built. They are somewhere for families to use as a base while at the seaside and they are equipped with cooker and kettle etc and basic furniture.
