Yesterday Haul

I've been having a look today at all the lovely leaflets and things I was given at the Havant Go Green thing yesterday. Here is a few highlights;

• Lot of information about Staunton Country Park - we are planning a trip there tomorrow with a picnic to investigate.
• 8 yummy recipe cards ranging from pickled onions to sloe gin
• A "Fun with fungi" booklet, full of fascinating info. I've always been tempted to forage for mushrooms but not sure if I have the confidence to try.
• A huge magnet for my fridge that lists what can and can't be added to the recycling bin
• A leaflet about a community quilt which is being put together by the Havant Transition Network. (Super interested in this one)
• Wikaniko catalogue. They are an eco friendly/ethical home shopping company
• A local map showing cycle routes in Havant and local area. Really useful!!!
• Lots a water saving info leaflets and a shower timer.
• Stickers and a really cute dormouse poster from the woodlands trust

I've really enjoyed reading through it all and learning about my local area. The best thing of the lot though is definitely the map which I will be tucking into my handbag :)

Adventures

Last night OH and I went out to the circus in Southsea. I still had my camera in my bag from the day before, so while we waited for the show to begin we snapped a few shots of Southsea.
Above is the war memorial on Southsea common. It is sooooooo beautiful and completely huge!!! Well worth a quick look if you are in the area.
A closer view of the very top. So beautiful.
This is the view of the big top from the other side of the common, we parked this side because it was free. Along with the free circus tickets and the 2 cans of Diet Coke we treated our selves to this night out cost us about £1 plus a little bit of petrol.
Today me and my lovely friend Cass went to the Havant Go Green Fair. It was really interesting and I had so many lovely informative chats with some of the stall holders. The photo above is of one of the entertainers, it isn't the best photo ever I'm afraid but he was absolutely brilliant :)

This was the view from one end of the Fair. As you can see there was plenty of stall to look at and lots of delicious local produce to sample, and a couple on a stall of coppice crafts showing how they made various things. I have a huge bag of freebies and leaflets to go through, but I'm going to wait till to tomorrow when I'm not so tired out lol.
