Southbourne bed and breakfast at Newpoint Hotel, 25 Pinecliffe Avenue, Southbourne, Bournemouth, UK, BH6 3PY

Butterfly

It is easy, when wandering in the New Forest, on Hengistbury Head or on the Southbourne Overcliff, to look only at the main features of the landscape, the trees, the sweep of Christchurch Bay or the carpet of golden heather or gorse. Yet, in doing so, sometimes we miss many things that, although small, are really beautiful.

Today, I give you a photo I took recently of a butterfly which allowed me to get really close as it enjoyed the pollen of the flower it rested upon. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I tend not to regularly employ staff for Newpoint Hotel bed and breakfast. Frankly, our prices are so low in order to provide our visitors with bargain discounts that staff costs are not really feasible. Also, like my husband, Noel, with his painting and decorating services, I am so meticulous about cleanliness and tidiness that staff have difficulty coming up to my high standards.

I firmly believe that to get the best results sometimes it is necessary to get down on your hands and knees and that applies to photography as well as cleaning.

So, if you see the back end of a woman on Hengistbury Head or Southbourne Overcliff with her nose and camera at ground level, you could well be looking at me.

Just don’t laugh, like my kids do … Promise!

Bye for now
