September in the UK often brings warm and sunny late summer days. We have been fortunate to experience some of those recently and both Eddie and I thought we really must take advantage of them. So the other day we decided to visit Hatchet Pond and take time to enjoy nature ...
Hatchet Pond is the largest area of fresh water in the New Forest, and is located just outside the quaint village of Beaulieu. It is very beautiful and can be enjoyed walking on one of two easy trails, either the longer or shorter route.
This body of fresh water is home to some of the rarest wetland plants and freshwater animals long since lost from many other parts of the UK. As one of the most wildlife rich water bodies remaining in lowland England, it has the highest possible conservation status as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area for Conservation.
Of course after our lovely visit and walk we returned to enjoy a most welcome and delicious plate of ...
Parma Ham, Walnut and Roquefort Salad

It's always good to spend time in nature, and your meal looks wonderful, yummy! Valerie
That looks like a lovely place for a walk. We certainly have to make the most of the fine days at this time of year, we never know how many are left before autumn and then winter really sets in.
Looks like a lovely day to take a walk, beautiful scene.

Have a great new week!
Sight seeing photo you shared is really beautiful! This salad really matches the Autumn season, looks great. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Sorry Eddie and Jan but you didn't say what birds you saw around Hatchet! I'll bet there was a Hobby or two chasing Dragons? But I will let you off for that salad.
Lovely place to enjoy Nature

Oh it sounds like a lovely day out and we need to enjoy them so much since it won't be long and we will be in winter season. Yummy meal to come back to :)

Lovely pond. I have been out a few walks recently and noticed a lot of the insects biting me! Yikes! I am hoping to get out this weeks for a few walks and see the ducks and coots with my daughter and feed them!
Yummers!
