A rare collection of first editions of all six of Jane Austen’s novels go on display together for the first time at the house where she wrote them. In a unique exhibition, six of the celebrated author’s original printed works - some of which boast intimate family connections - will be gathered together in the same place. They are on display at Jane Austen’s House in Chawton, Hants - including a copy of Sense and Sensibility in the original publisher’s binding. Jane’s brother Frank’s personal copy of Emma and her brother Edward’s copy of Northanger Abbey and Persuasion will be on display, as well as first editions of Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park.

Animal rights charity PETA encouraged people at a seafood festival to go vegan - with an unusual ‘kittenmonger’ stunt. PETA set up a stall offering ‘locally caught tabbies’, ‘kitten cakes’, and ‘fresh local Siamese’ to challenge what they call ‘speciesism’ - where some animals are regarded as superior to others.

A POP-PY OF COLOUR! A huge knitted poppy ‘waterfall’ creates a splash of colour as it cascades down the tower of St. John’s Church, Boldre, New Forest, Hants. Volunteers add finishing touches to the display. The congregation were encouraged to contibute as over 7,000 individually hand-knitted poppies were needed. All made from a whopping, 124km of yarn. The finished piece was then draped over the bell tower with some remaining poppies displayed inside and around the church gardens in respect of Remembrance.

Farm Director, Tom Nelson and a volunteer place the finishing touches on their giant pumpkin and squash mosaic at Sunnyfields farm in Totton, Hants. This year’s piece is a tribute to the late rock legend, Ozzy Osbourne, who passed earlier this year. The portrait, built by a team of farm staff and volunteers, including Tom, covers a grassy knoll and uses an approximate combined 10,000 pumpkins and squash, bringing the Black Sabbath frontman’s image to life.

THE 250TH YEAR FOR THE WORLD’S OLDEST BOWLING GREEN COMPETITION. The Knights of the Green take part in the 250th Knighthood Competition at the Southampton Old Bowling Club, Southampton, Hants. For the first time in its 250 year history the yearly competition that has taken place at the bowling club green predating the foundation of the Ashes and the Premier League, that sees ‘gentlemen commoners’ wearing playing whites competing to become a Knight of the Green is being livestreamed via Facebook. The Knights of the Green wear the traditional dress of top hats and tailcoats paired with their silver medallion, to simulate the formal attire previously worn by the elite whilst participating in the games themselves. The winner of the competition is named a Knight of the Green and addressed as Sir within the grounds of the world’s oldest bowling green, which opened in 1299. The games are ongoing with currently 13 out of the starting 22 in the running. The winner requires 7 points in total to win the elusive title of Junior Knight, who will then be installed on the 12th September. Shot for @solentnews Seen in the Times and Sunday Telegraph.

SAY CHEESE! Bird Team Member and Events Coordinator Ben Cox with two 11-week-old barn owls, Lulu and Brie, who are the newest additions to the Hawk Conservancy Trust in Andover, Hants.
 The pairs’ names came from a public vote in line with the Trust’s theme of naming all of 2024’s new arrivals after a different cheese. As soon as the birds are socialised enough with people and complete their flight routine training indoors, they will begin their outdoor practices. Swiftly moving on to participating in the main flight shows alongside their feathered friends. The shows are a huge draw for guests and fantastic enrichment for the birds in the Trust’s care Shot for @solentnews and @hawkconservancy
