517 – Doing History in Gosport

I wanted to do my Gosport walk in a defined order, but it’s not working out like that. Having done four points in the walk, I am remembering them as I go. I think tomorrow is going to be another Blue Plaque day. There are several along the high street, I’ll just go with the first one I find.

A couple of weeks ago I picked up a second hand book that I had bought . Luckily the vendor lived in Portsmouth and we were heading that way to have a walk along the waterfront it’s called D-Day Our Great Enterprise by Lesley Burton, it’s all about D-Day in and around Gosport. I’m saying this because whilst I am very keen to read the book, it is number three on my list. I will get to it, but not just not yet. It’s not a huge book but it looks really interesting and I am very keen to read it.

OK, so I couldn’t resist it. I’ve just had a quick read of the first page, it appears to be well written and an easy read. Nothing about Gosport yet, but it is just scene-setting.

I took today’s photograph yesterday morning (that sounds a bit confusing). I didn’t go for a walk first thing I slept through having had what is for me quite a late night last night (didn’t get to bed until 2330, normally it’s 2200) I had a bit of trouble getting to sleep and it was a bit of a disturbed night as well. Hopefully, tonight will be better.

I just want to write, but I prefer to stay away from controversial topics like politics. I am happy to confess that at the moment, I am writing for me. If you enjoy my writings, and I hope you do then that is all the better.

I'm here to work on fiction. Occasionally I'll blog but that's certainly not my focus. You have a specific fiction genre or format you can't find enough of? Ask me. Maybe I got it. I migh share it with you. Otherwise, leave me alone; I'm toiling away at my workbench.
