Hello again Older generations enjoy entertaining the youngsters with stories of their world without computers and mobile phones, the first computer games, the VHS vs Beta battle and yes, I even remember music on 8 track cassettes! They claim it was a simpler world then, but technology has brought the freedom to work from home, to stay in touch with friends and family, to shop online and to find out almost anything I want to instantly - fantastic. Our Discover team, too is very much in “the cloud”; that is we have people working on the magazines remotely; Allison our designer in Derbyshire, our administrator Lauren lives in Kent and Marina, our short story illustrator, lives in Serbia. However, technology doesn’t stop us needing local tradespeople, gardeners, hairdressers, garages and – of course – someone to fix our computers when they go wrong! And that’s what this magazine is all about. A choice of services in one handy guide and two pages this month of events, for the days when you feel like interacting with the real world rather than just the virtual one! Best wishes,
Melanie
p.s My apologies for the absence of the Directory of Independent Retailers this month. With the unexpected acquisition of a local Winchester magazine and launching our 8th title Discover Winchester, I simply ran out of time, hands and energy. But it’s coming, I promise! Distribution - Discover Southampton West is published every month and distributed by your postman to two alternating areas. In January, March etc it goes to homes and businesses in SO40 postcode sectors 7, 8 & 9. In February, April etc it goes to SO40 sectors 2 & 3. Each distribution is around 8,000 homes, meaning over the two month distribution we reach 16,000 homes. Advertising - We understand that the needs of a small business are quite different to those of a big company, and our advertising service is very much targeted at independent and local businesses. From advert design to general advice we are here to help you grow. For more details call Melanie 023 8026 6388 or email: melanie@discovermagazines.co.uk

DISCOvER LOCAL ART
“The Horse in Landscape” Art Exhibition Saturday 6th to Tuesday 9th April AN exhibition of mainly equestrian works by Alan Langford S.E.A. (Society of Equestrian Artists) is being held at Godshill Village Hall, Godshill near Fordingbridge SP6 2LP, two miles east of Fordingbridge on the B3078. The Exhibition runs from Saturday 6th April to Tuesday 9th April from 10am-5pm, daily. Alan is well known for his equestrian artwork, with portrayals of pony drifts; point to point racing and Romany horse fairs. This is also another chance to see his painting of Beaulieu Road horse sales, called ‘High Spirits’ that was recently part of the ‘Nags to Thoroughbreds’ exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery. There will be many other large oils on view as Alan Langford photographed at a recent exhibition well as numerous small, more affordable watercolours. In contrast, alongside Alan's artworks, there will be Janet Langford's charming miniatures and small acrylic paintings, mainly depicting local landscapes. Admission is free. There is access for the disabled and plenty of parking space. We regret there will be no credit card facility, cash or cheques only for any purchases required. For further information about this or any future exhibitions by Alan Langford please email: janet.e.langford@gmail.com

Horsebridge & Kings Somborne Walk distance 4.7 miles A downloadable pdf of the walk and enlarged map is available online at www.discovercommunity.co.uk
Historical note... Horsebridge is situated on the old ‘Sprat & Winkle’ railway line that ran from Andover to Kimbridge junction in the south. Royal Assent was granted in July 1858 for the line to be built by converting a canal built earlier in 1792. The route was to run parallel to the rivers Test and Anton. A 14-gun salute celebrated the cutting of the first sod by Lord Palmerston in a field near his home at Broadlands, Romsey. The line opened to traffic in 1865 but was not a commercial success, closing in 1964. The name Kings Somborne is probably derived from Saxon times in that the area was a ‘kings’ possession. Somborne relates to a stream associated with pigs. Remains of large stone buildings to the south of the churchyard are presumed to be the remains of a Saxon royal palace. The Doomsday book records the village as Somborne Regis.
Horsebridge is situated just a short distance away from the main A3057 Romsey to Stockbridge road South West of Kings Somborne . On entering the hamlet, park on the grass verge at opposite the junction with the Broughton road, by the John O’Gaunt pub (SO20 6PU). Alternatively, turn into the Broughton Road and turn left opposite the pub onto a gravel track leading to the ‘Test Way’ public car park.. Walk along the road in the direction of Romsey. Follow the road as it bends around a large barn on your left and at the end of the barn turn left onto a signed bridleway. Climb slowly uphill along the boundary between two fields. At the top of the rise, pass to the right of a farm gate and emerge onto the main A3057 road. Cross the road diagonally left onto a lay-by. At the left hand side of a metal farm gate join a footpath running parallel to the main road. Continue straight ahead following the left hand fence-line heading towards Kings Somborne . Emerge into Palace Close and walk along the road straight ahead to a ‘T’ junction. Turn left along the road then walk through a cut-way into a close. Follow the road left to another ‘T’ junction. Turn right then left onto Furzedown Road. Walk down this road then turn right along the road signposted to the Sombournes. With Nutchers Drove opposite, cross the footbridge over a stream and turn left back towards the main A3057. As you near the main road, turn right to reach the main road. Cross the road and into Cow Drove Hill road. Walk uphill to a bungalow on your right named ‘Sunrise’. Turn left up some wooden steps onto the signed Clarendon Way. Turn right and walk uphill following the field right-hand boundary. Near the top of the hill, emerge onto a metalled lane and turn left. Walk along the lane ignoring the path joining from your left. As the lane bears right, continue straight ahead along a tarmac and gravel track. At a crossing of tracks, continue straight ahead along a signed ‘Private Road’. Continue along the track as it passes through water meadows and over the various branches of the River Test. Walk to the left of a metal gate to emerge onto a road. Turn left and walk along the roadside verge ignoring the Clarendon Way turning on your right. Walk past Faithfulls Drove on your right to a ‘T’ junction. Turn right onto the Dunbridge road. Continue along the road past the Broughton turning on your right. Pass the shared entrance drive to Bossington Estate and its attendant lodge house on your left and the entrance lane to St James’ Church. As you reach some farm cottages on your right, turn left onto a signed track crossing the road and walk between two fields. Continue along the remains of this Roman Road that at onetime ran from Sarum to Winchester. Continue along this path as it crosses over the various branches of the river once more. At a stile, cross into a field. The path here is indistinct, but walk straight across the centre of the field bearing slightly diagonally left towards a hedgerow. Cross a stile to join the track bed of the redundant railway. Turn left and pass Horsebridge station to your right. At a fork in the path, bear left to continue along the track bed passing once more over the river. On joining the road, turn right to rejoin your car.
