• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

With the Grandkids on holiday and a break in the weather, we took them to the RN Historic Dockyards in Portsmouth on Wednesday - mainly to see the Mary Rose.
Nice to see her again without being continuously sprayed and the Museum is fantastic with an amazing collection on extremely well presented, restored artefacts.
I took some photos of some of the tools which are housed in climate controlled cabinets so please excuse the glass reflections.

Yes Mark but worth a few days around there.
In the Dockyard area, as well as the Mary Rose, there's the Victory, Warrior, Submarine Museum etc etc.
Next door is Gun Wharf Quays which would keep shopaholics and foodies happy and nearby is Fort Nelson - part of the British Armouries ( and free entry). Spinnaker Tower and a trip to the Isle of Wight (Dinosaurs) are other attractions.
