Flo is seeking items to use in making a baby’s mobile. In particular she is collecting beads. One very good source of such material is Charity Shops which now populate most of our High Streets. One such is New Milton’s Station Road.

This gentleman patiently waiting to cross the road carries his own tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s upcoming 70th Jubilee celebrations at the beginning of June.
While walking along the street I picked up a wallet from the gutter. This contained a certain amount of identifying material but nothing of monetary value.

where I was confronted with instructions as to how to proceed. I left the wallet on top of the box.
