A few photos from my time out in the sunshine with the bestie, Kath, around Southampton town. It was an absolutely sweltering day and we spent the first part of it outside milling around the Southampton Art, Design, Antiques & Vintage Market. The market’s only been running monthly for the past few months so it’s still fairly small, never-the-less I picked up a new vintage top and a cute little cat ear ring from two of the stalls there and made up a wishlist in my head of the antiques, trinkets and prints I would furnish my hypothetical future flat/home with – a girl can dream right?

As well as some much needed retail therapy – and an unsuccessful trip to find and buy The Cuckoo’s Calling, let down Waterstones! – we headed out to hunt for Rhinos…stick with me. 

To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Marwell Wildlife Park in Hampshire commissioned it’s Go! Rhinos trail. The public art event had the Park commission artists, businesses and schools to showcase their talent on life sized Rhinos statues. The majority of them were sat around the town centre, but some are hidden as far as Winchester and Marwell itself. The statues will be staying in the city all the way up to September, so if you’re in town do try and get on the trail – we found it pretty fun trying to find out where they’d put them! We captured a handful and took photos of our favourites before giving up in the heat and relaxing the park for the rest of the day.
