No problem it was probably something I did in that case!

I love living here, of all the places i have ever been to on holiday etc i have never felt the need to look at moving anywhere, i live within 30 minutes of the beech, the new forest or a decent road network to be anywhere i like what more could i ask for

Of course the new forest is an awesome place to visit. Waking up to a noise outside your tent and it's a massive cow with horns the size of a skyscraper! Nipping to the local bakery shop for red hot pastys that burn your mouth out, walks in the woods etc. we camp there to get away from it all. Before we had kids we just used to drive till we found a free spot to pitch, one time we camped in the centre of witches cross, very surreal night as you can imagine. As soon as we realised where we were we dumped everything in the car and got out of there lol. I think I may retire down your neck of the woods
