Look, it might be sad to some, and I don't care.
I was vegging out in front of the TV (yes I'm allowed to sometimes) with a nice glass of Barsac : and the programme "Country Ways" was on. They were doing an article on Lymington. One of the features was a guy who made a living out of making sculptures etc out of steel. Amongst the items they showed was a magnificent lifesize (?) mermaid (Merman, do you know her ? ). Also shown were a few items from nature, like a grasshopper and some other "buggy" type things.
I remember being told that the Travel Bugs released by HCC at the event were made by a guy from Lymington.
Looks like that must be him.
