Christmas Dining in Milford on Sea

Swimming Banana in Milford

If you wandered along the seafront on Sunday lunchtime you may have seen a banana swimming in the sea. Our fruity friend was accompanied by several other hardy souls, all in fancy dress. The sea was pretty cold, so the most suitable costume was probably the guy dressed as a penguin!

As this is not the normal swimming attire for Milford on Sea beach we decided to investigate. We discovered that they were taking part in the Portage Plunge, which was in aid of Ashurst Hospital near Southampton.

I did offer to go in, wearing just my ‘furry lounge suit’, but they said the charity was not that desperate!

You can watch the Portage Plunge here:

    Hi I am from the Portage Team based in the New Forest. This was our second Portage Plunge in beautiful Milford on Sea. We were raising money for the Friends of Portage so that we can run additional events for the families we serve as an early education service. We work with New Forest preschool children with additional needs and their families. The whole team took part with support from some very dedicated friends and family members. It was an invigorating experience!!!

    Ah, so nothing to do with Ashurst Hospital then! Not unusual for these pages, if you are after actual facts, best not to rely on my blog!
