Celebrations at Hengistbury Head
This weekend saw the 50th birthday celebrations of one of my best friends. Along with my own, a number of us were celebrating our birthdays, so we gathered en-mass at the beach huts on Mudeford Spit, Hengistbury Head, overlooking Christchurch Harbour on one side and the Solent and the Needles on the other.
We stayed for 3 days and in addition to the eating, drinking, celebrating and general fun we all had, we were treated to 3 wonderful sunsets across the harbour.
The tides were Springs meaning high high-tides and low low-tides which gave the harbour an eerie feeling as we watched both dogs and humans 'walk on water' as the tide dropped, leaving boats keeled over on the mud and swans waddling across the mud-flats that remained.
Thanks to all the gang who turned up to help us celebrate in style .... Thx to Koves for organising so much of it all, and thanks to the weather, which was just glorious ..... sunburn hitting in now....
