Yesterday I had one of those stonkingly good days that make life worth living. Didn't mean to do it but as I looked out of the window yesterday morn I espied an opportunity to do 'The Itchen Way', this being a walk from Southampton to Winchester along the Itchen,(both river and disused canal). Brilliantly fresh, bright and full sunlight and mud galore. I'll post a full record in the next few days with links to a selection of the 229 photographs I took.
Here however is a photo of all things English. I have to admit that when, on the outskirts of Winchester, I came across three piches of unknown type, six teams of unknown number,and activity of unknown type, I was flummoxed. Research now tells me the boys, (from Winchester College,(public school))were playing Winkies, a type of game played with a football but more like rugby. Winchester Colleges' own site says that very little hand-eye coordination is required. Nuff said.
Dennypoos...............only I could find this after walking 16 miles.
