Hedge End

I'm a bit out of the Peter sphere at the moment.

I'm right down in Hedge End, but I had to come because it's Canine Partners and it's the Riverside Band.

And I'm with Lucy.

Now, Lucy, what's your official role here?

Yeah, we've been doing it since May.

yeah very new to it then yes yeah dora's our first puppy with the charity how is it going um i've forgotten that puppies are quite hard work yes uh but we are getting a lot of support from the charity we have weekly training either at home or local or together in a hall um which is great um and it's quite sociable with everyone else so we're all in it together

yeah now this is quite local as well because we're at hedge end at the moment and uh The training centre is actually here, isn't it? You've got a puppy training centre here? In West End,

yeah.

mean, it's a weird part of the world.

Hedge End, all those sort of places.

I

do actually know Hedge End quite well, weirdly.

See, that's the thing.

I'm like a weird South Coast boy.

He's quite the tennis fan.

Starbucks millionaire Mark Hepburn has been ordered by Winchester City Council to tear down a tennis court he built in Durley, which is just north of Hedge End and Botley.

This is quite a scandal in the Southampton circles.

And it's been going on for at least a year.

And one of them said, like the toddler child was there as well.

And the toddler said, he said something like, we live in... we live in Hedge End.

And his big sister went, no, we don't.

We live in Fair Oak.

[upbeat rock music]

[upbeat rock music]So you started playing tennis three years ago, and, uh, and as you say, you're a member of David Lloyd, which gives you, uh, obviously opportunities in both the Southampton side in Nursling, and the West End side in Hedge End.

Uh, and, uh, you've gone from strength to strength.

I mean, you first picked-

Yeah.

You know? Um, or you could have the Hedge End Hedgehogs.

Ooh, I like that one.

Yeah.

Oh.

Go- went as far as Fareham and that's it.

So if we're a bunch of Hedge End Hedgehogs-

Yeah

Just stay at home.

Don't try and drive anywhere in the morning, because that junction at Hedge End, Martin, can snarl up, can't it? LAUGHTER I'm

looking forward to it.

I always find it crazy that we get to the stadium and the Pompey fans are already in there and they've been there for an hour already.
