Lymington is now an elegant largely Georgian town, but its history, as described in https://derrickjknight.com/2019/12/07/the-charter-market/ is much earlier.
As reported yesterday, that is when Jackie and I carried out the photoshoot for this day because Storm Darragh was expected, and did in fact beset the town while I drafted this post.
Jackie parked in the carpark at the bottom of the hill that is Lymington High Street, and began by photographing me (about one third up on the left side of the pavement) setting off to the top; while she, being the more able to manage it, set off down the cobbled Quay Street, the
subject of my first picture, before I had begun my upward climb.
In fact my actual first had been taken through the car windscreen as we searched for a spot to leave the Hyundai.
Otherwise I focussed largely on shop windows.
Jackie made her way down, through the bollards, to the quayside at the far end of Quay Street, also concentrating on windows, such as those of
Dials Antique Clocks, where we bought our own some years ago https://derrickjknight.com/2016/02/05/phases-of-the-moon/ ;
the Old Customs House winery, dating from c1680;
Blu Bambu furniture and The King’s Head pub.
Rounding the corner of the hostelry
she closed with two views of Captain’s Row.
This afternoon I read more of ‘Gentian Hill’.
For dinner this evening we enjoyed Jackie’s chicken curry and savoury rice with which she drank Diet Coke and I finished the Albali.
