Winter Lecture by Aimee Durnell
On Wednesday 7th December we're delighted to be welcoming local author and artist Aimee Durnell who will be talking to us about 'Secret Lymington'
Delve into Lymington's fascinating history from ancient Buckland Rings and the early days of settlement to the town's days of seafaring, salt-making, smuggling, even sea bathing. The history of our town is a journey as twisting as the alleyways running down to the quay. Join Aimee on a journey around the nature reserves and hidden streets and enjoy stories of this vibrant town from the stillness of the Lymington River to otherwordly Hurst Spit.
Aimee is a local author and artist, living on the Lymington-Keyhaven Nature Reserve for 20 years. She is a freelance artist, painting in watercolour and creating linocuts of the New Forest wildlife and area. She became fascinated in the history and colour of the locality, writing and illustrating 3 books and is always happy to talk to anyone who lives here about their experience of life in the Forest.
