I just wanted to share this gem with you. Cottinghams - Drinks & Cafe in Lymington is one of those lovely little cafes tucked away from the busy main street. You can enjoy your time there in a peaceful atmosphere, whether you choose to sit inside or in the outside courtyard. They serve amazing coffee and delicious treats, plus they have a unique twist, by having a gift shop. Just a heads up, there are only a couple of spots to park your bikes, so keep that in mind when you plan your visit.

Lymington Reedbeds nature reserve is home to a range of fascinating species. Sea birds are abundant and warblers sing all through the year. Migratory birds return to the reedbeds time after time, and during the winter the reserve come to life with waders and water fowl. If you’re lucky, you may even spot an otter or a water vole. Whether you’re a keen birder or simply looking to reconnect with nature, Lymington Reedbeds Nature Reserve is a wonderful place to visit. In the spring, vibrant marsh-marigold bring a welcome splash of colour to the reserve and the air is filled with the songs of sedge and reed warblers. As autumn arrives, watch migrant birds such as yellow wagtail, swallow and martins build up their food stores and rest among the reeds before they depart for warmer climes.

On the patronage of this church in Lymington: The apostle THOMAS, one of the twelve whom Jesus called into the inner circle of his disciples, is not often mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament. The most prominent passage is precisely the one after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which has earned him the unflattering nickname "Doubting Thomas" in popular parlance. The evangelist John reports on this in the 20th chapter of his version of the "Good News" (this is the translation of the word "Gospel"). This theme naturally also provided an opportunity for dissemination in religious art of many eras, for example in one of the most famous paintings by Caravaggio - if you are interested, see => https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_ungl%C3%A4ubige_Thomas_(Caravaggio)#/media/Datei:The_Incredulity_of_Saint_Thomas.jpg - The memorial day of the Apostle Thomas in the calendar of saints is sometimes celebrated on July 3rd, sometimes on December 21st.

For sailor Ben Ainslie, the Royal Mail initially painted a box in Restronguet Passage, Cornwall, the place he grew up and learned to sail. A member of the public then painted a box in Lymington High Street, Hampshire, gold, on the basis that Ainslie was a long time resident and considered a local "legend".
