South Downs chalk stream Idyll

Couple of photos from last summer along one of Hampshire's chalk streams, the water is crystal clear, filtered by the chalk hills.

Nearby there are watercress beds, cress being one of the traditional local summer crops.

 I could probably put up with water in the basement to live there, but not sure about the thatch, nice to look at someone else's house with that. Like teak decks, an expensive repair waiting to happen.
