Yes, horrible wet weather down here on the South Coast. Great intentions
this morning and set off to East Meon, Hants, in the Meon Valley. Started
walking just after 1000 and within about 5 minutes the rain started ....
only a little so thought it wouldn't last. Wrong! Soon on the way up to
Small Down, the drops got bigger and my fleece got wetter. Time for the
jacket, bit (silly me) didn't bring along any leggings. That 'trusty'
weather forecaster indicated it would be showers. Reached the South Downs
Way and had intended going south for a couple of miles before turning back
along paths to near Old Winchester Hill. But, with soggy legs, interest
fading, I turned right and followed the South Downs Way back to East Meon
and the car, About 4 miles, not particularly cold, but my heart wasn't in it
today.

Returned home, had lunch, then Clare and I ventured off to Hedge End
shopping. Clare to M&S, I to Cotswolds and PC World. Bags for my shiny new
EOS350, and software and USB2 320gigs (down by 90 pounds) hard drive from PC
World. What a way to finish off a wet Sunday.

Anyway, there are a few 'bleak' pictures from the short walk at the address
below.

No picture of PC World?

Had I not ended up on Offa's Dyke today involved in a 7 mile walk in slushy
snow, across sheep infested quagmiry fields, I would have been more tempted
by nipping in to Staples for an exernal hard drive which for stg200 you can
get a 400gb freecom, but I read somewhere that that a 500gb version is also
available at around this sort of money. Anyway, we ended up in a pub and I
had ham, egg and chips , and then came home and had chicken and roasties and
a bit of the vin rouge to boot. Off mid week for a canter round Salop.

Just set up my USB2 drive. Dream to do, although as always, many gigs is
taken up with system/format information. But, for the price I can live with
it.

Sounds like you may be in need of that walk after all that lovely food and
vino after Offa's Dyke!
