Lymington is a port on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent, in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England. It is to the east of the South East Dorset conurbation, and faces Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight which is connected to it by a car ferry, operated by Wightlink. The town of Lymington lies within Southampton and S.W. Hampshire and contains the villages of Beaulieu, Boldre, Hordle, Milford-on-Sea, Pennington and Sway. Under the Local Government Act 1972 the borough of Lymington was abolished on April 1, 1974, becoming an unparished area in the district of New Forest, with Charter Trustees. The area was subsequently parished as the four parishes of New Milton, Lymington and Pennington, Milford-on-Sea and Hordle. Lymington New Forest Hospital opened in 2007, replacing the earlier Lymington Hospital. This is a community hospital and has a Minor Injuries Unit but no Accident and Emergency.
The town has a large tourist industry, and is situated near the beautiful New Forest. It is a major yachting centre with three marina’s. A beautiful, Georgian market town, Lymington ( population 14,330 ) is situated on the southern edge of the New Forest, between Southampton and Bournemouth and at the western end of the Solent. The town is world renown as a sailing resort; there are two large marinas Berthon and Haven and two sailing clubs RLYC and Lymington Town. Lymington has several interesting independent shops including some designer boutiques. On Saturday a market is held in the High Street, the origins of which probably date back to the 13th century. At the top of the High Street is the Parish Church, St Thomas Church ( built around 1250 ), from the bottom of the High Street a cobblestone road leads down to the Old Town Quay, still used as a base by commercial fishing boats.
The earliest settlement in the Lymington area was around the Iron Age hill fort known today as Buckland Rings. The hill and ditches of this fort still remain, and an archaeological excavation of part of the Walls was carried out there in 1935. It has been dated to around the sixth century BC. There is also another supposed Iron Age site at nearby Ampress Hole. Evidence for later settlement (as opposed to occupation) however is sparse before Domesday. Lymington itself began as a Anglo-Saxon village. The Jutes arrived in what is now South West Hampshire from the Isle of Wight in the 6th century and founded a settlement called limentun. The Old English word tun means a farm or hamlet while limen is derived from the Ancient British word lemanos meaning elm-tree. The town is recorded in the Domesday book of 1086 as Lentune. About 1200 the lord of the manor, William de Redvers created the borough of New Lymington around the present quay and High Street while Old Lymington comprised the rest of the parish. He gave the town its first charter and the right to hold a market. The town became a Parliamentary Borough in 1585 returning two MP's until 1832 when its electoral base was expanded. Lymington continued to return two MP's until the Second Reform Act of 1867 when its representation was reduced to one. On the passage of the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 Lymington's parliamentary representation was merged with the New Forest Division.
From the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century Lymington was famous for making salt. Salt works comprised almost a continuous belt along the coast toward Hurst Spit. From the early nineteenth century it had a thriving shipbuilding industry, particularly associated with Thomas Inman the builder of the schooner Alarm, which famously raced the American yacht America in 1851. Much of the town centre is Victorian and Georgian, with narrow cobbled streets, giving an air of quaintness. The wealth of the town at the time is represented in its architecture. Lymington particularly promotes stories about its smuggling history; there are unproven stories that under the High Street are smugglers tunnels that run from the old inns to the town quay. Lymington was one of the boroughs reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. In addition to the original town, 1932 saw a major expansion of the borough, to add Milton ( previously an urban district ) and the parishes of Milford on Sea and Pennington, and parts of other parishes, from Lymington Rural District - this extended the borough west along the coast to the border with Christchurch.
The Lymington Open Air Sea Water Baths a life guarded open air lido in Lymington, Hampshire. Built in 1833 it is the oldest lido in the UK, and at 110 metres long by 50 metres wide it is also one of the largest in size and in volume with 1.7 million gallons of water. The baths reopened in 2010 following a campaign by local people who also completed the baths' refurbishment. The current sea water baths date back to 1833 when the Lymington Bath and Improvement Company was set up. The bath house was built shortly afterwards and is now the club house for the Lymington Town Sailing Club. As time went on the baths struggled to compete with others in the area, particularly at Bournemouth. In 1855 they were sold to George Inman who owned a boat building company further up the river. In 1886 the Lymington Sea Baths Company leased the baths from Inman. The baths continued under several different owners until 1929 when they were taken over the by the Lymington Corporation.The 1930s were something of a golden period for outdoors baths and lidos with people flocking to bathe on bank holidays in the summer. Today the baths are owned by Lymington and Pennington Town Council.
You can walk along the beautiful Solent Way coastline from Lymington, the Solent Way follows the sea wall west around marshes and nature reserves until it reaches the picturesque waterside hamlet of Keyhaven and Hurst Castle can be easily viewed by taking the small ferry from Keyhaven. Harbour -. This walk I did in 2016 and in places it is a bit boring. However the views of the Isle of Wight along with the ferry arriving and leaving Lymington Harbour provide you with an interesting opportunity for taking many photos or videos. The wildlife along this part or the Solent Way is of interest to many walkers also.

There are 5 or 6 types of mushrooms growing around my yard. I know nothing about wild mushrooms, other than not to eat what I don't about. These have dried up already, as we're having another dry year.
Some of Bangkok's best-kept secrets are found in local markets. They offer an array of items at very low prices, and quite often contain the friendliest variety of Thai people.
...is probably what they are thinking after I presume the driver shouting "Everyone off! We've broken down" and turfing them out onto the pavement. I'm sure another bus will appear soon.
I didn't realise that I'd been spotted taking the photos until I downloaded them. No wonder I got a funny looks as I pinged my past them on the shared path.
A bell is invaluable nowadays - everyone seems intent on ignoring the world by looking at small rectangular devices.
Winter can arrive now... we finally loaded our woodshed and cleaned the chimney. As a matter of fact, it's snowing right now. Lightly, but snow all the same.

Local children in the town of La Fortuna. Kids are great to photograph and even better to talk to. By the way, the trucks they were playing with are such wonderful examples of the local folk art or should I say functional art of the area.
Over breakfast this morning, I had the pleasure of hearing Sarah Murray talk about food. Although the subject wasn't my croissants and coffee, her new book covers almost everything else: Moveable Feasts: From Ancient Rome to the 21st Century, the Incredible Journeys of the Food We Eat.
In the photo above she is demonstrating the tiffin lunchbox in which hundreds of thousands of Indians receive their daily lunches through a hub-and-spoke network with an efficiency and error rate worthy of study by FedEx. (I won't attempt to retell the story here, but indeed even the Six Sigma Institute took a close look at the amazing "dabbawala" system).
From olive oil to bananas to boneless salmon, Sarah's talk was full of illuminating facts and figures. Much of this goes against conventional wisdom, particularly with regard to "carbon footprints" (the greenhouse gases produced in an activity).
One (allegedly delicious) example comes from Walker's Smoky Bacon potato crisps (i.e. chips):
- One bag has a carbon footprint of 74g
- Only 9% of that comes from transportation and distribution
- Largest source of CO2 is the frying/cooking of the potatoes, which takes much more energy with wet potatoes
- Farmers are paid on weight, so their incentive is to keep potatoes moist ( and farmers thus store potatoes in heated greenhouses, further using energy/producing CO2)
- Thus changing the pricing system away from wet weight would simulatenously benefit the farmers and the potato chip manufacturers, not to mention the environment.
Similarly, by filling trucks and containers more efficiently, load optimization software has arguable had a bigger impact on CO2 reduction than has local food production. Some may spin this as an argument for "big food," but it also offers hope for local/regional alliances of food producers to coordinate distribution more efficiently .
Ms. Murray doesn't pretend to provide simple solutions to these complicated issues, but her rich treatment of the subject offers insights for people from across the political and environmental spectrum.
While the subject is food, the book has tremendous relevance to the present debates over globalization, trade policy, biofuels, and national security. And of course I equally recommend it for all those who enjoy learning more about the often surprising provenance of the food they put in their mouths.
Sarah Murray's book is available here from Amazon. My thanks to the Aspen Institute for organizing this event.

This local (LRJ92) comes up from the San Francisco Bay Area to Roseville on a nightly basis during the week. They bring all the cars from the smaller "remote" yards around the Eastern San Francisco Bay Area to be sorted and sent out on the massive trains seen over Donner Pass.
Tonight, they had an extra bit of business in Roseville, turn the power to face the opposite way and drop off an engine for it's 90 Servicing, known as an "oil change" for those that aren't railroad knowledgeable.
