Things to do in Hampshire in February
What a long January that was, especially when the cold snap kicked in. I peppered in some adventures but not as many as I’d originally planned so I’ve got high hopes for February.
My dog is snuggled up next to me, the Six Nations has started and I’m just back from a slow Sunday morning at The Yard. Fuelled by coffee and toasties I’m getting stuck in to what the county has to offer us this month.
Although my default setting is hibernate I always feel better for getting out and making the most of winter. And, that’s my aim for this guide – to make it easy for you to make the most of your weekends and free time.
