I managed to select and get printed my three photos for the next competition. The header picture isn’t one of them.
I thought that it was time that I tried to get back to a normal post about Gosport, and that includes The Cockle Ponds. I had noted that the ponds were being emptied. I think it is fair to say that the ponds won’t get any emptier than this. I presume that unless some maintenance is due the ponds will start filling soon. Having said that, I noticed that along the edge there is a fair bot of crumbling. To the point that I could imagine somebody standing on the edge, it giving way and the person falling in. Luckily, it isn’t very deep.
I would like to think that when the ponds refill, it will bring in some jellyfish, I am pretty sure that they annoy the model yachters, but they are nice to see.
The work on the People’s Park continues. There’s a lot of groundwork going on. I’m not sure what they are looking at, but they are digging trenches that appear fairly random. I don’t know why, but I will try and find out.
I didn’t go into the Craft Cafe today, I did seriously consider it, and felt a bit guilty for not going in. Instead, I got Sausage & chips and sat on the waterfront. There was some small boat movements, a warship went out, escorted by three tugs and a Border Force cutter came in. So that was interesting and pleasant. Especially when the Mon St Michelle came in. Haven’t seen her for a while, so that was lovely.
I walked home, picking up my competition prints on the way.
