I don’t think I normally comment on the previous night’s post, unless there is a good reason to. I certainly tend not to comment on videos where I’ve not posted anything other than I’m not posting tonight. Last night’s post is a bit of an exception. It’s not often that I call a stop whilstContinue reading “2055 – Last night & Today”

2054 – A trip to Portsmouth
One of the Camera Club members had arranged for us to go over to Portsmouth to visit Old Portsmouth with a model. I had been burning to get over to Portsmouth to record some video about the Civil War from this side of the water. I did feel slightly guilty splitting off from everybody elseContinue reading “2054 – A trip to Portsmouth”
2053 – The Retirement Plan
It’s 6 months and 11 days since I retired. Before retiring, I did what I like to do, and that is draft a retirement plan. I think at the 6-month point it’s reasonable to have a review, and do the usual thing of looking at what has and hasn’t gone well. I think what I’llContinue reading “2053 – The Retirement Plan”
2052 – Letter to Steve XXI – Perhaps some introspection?
Dear Steve The mistake that I have made with tonight’s Letter to Steve is that I have not done very much with it, after a rather intense period of conversing with my assistant on Monday. We had quite a wide-ranging discussion, starting mostly with how I discovered Gilbert White. Summarised: driving north on theContinue reading “2052 – Letter to Steve XXI – Perhaps some introspection?”
2051 – A bit of Frustration
I was sitting in the chair under the hut awning. We were both admiring the garden, but what grabbed my attention wasn’t really the garden it was the spider webs. I have no idea how many times I’ve said in my blog that I don’t like spiders; I am, in fact, arachnophobic. I’m afraid ofContinue reading “2051 – A bit of Frustration”
2050 – Friday
I don’t know what it is about mornings, but come around 1030-ish, I feel irresistibly tired, no matter how good a night I’ve had. I’ve pretty much just given up fighting it and have taken to accepting the nap. To be honest, at the moment, it’s too hot anyway, and I am trying to avoidContinue reading “2050 – Friday”
2049 – Vlogging
I don’t know how many years I’ve been saying that I want to vlog, but I never quite knew what to vlog about. Over the last few weeks, though, I’ve come to a bit of a realisation. It might sound a bit odd, but I think it accurately represents things. Now, the one thing thatContinue reading “2049 – Vlogging”
2048 No Observations
Yesterday, I wrote a post about observations: https://localitystories.com/2026/07/07/2047-observations/As you can imagine, today, I was really looking out for observations that I could record. You know what’s coming next, don’t you? I did get out today. I met up with some friends from the Camera Club at the Vine, which is about half a mile fromContinue reading “2048 No Observations”
2047 – Observations
I haven’t been anywhere today, apart from a couple of small car trips. I haven’t walked, which is bad. As it got towards midday, I became aware that I would have a problem with tonight’s post as I didn’t have anything to write about. Spend 10 minutes in a garden that a beekeeper had praisedContinue reading “2047 – Observations”
2046 – About The Letters to Steve
This is the story of how I discovered Gilbert White. Because of my work, we moved from Cambridgeshire to Gosport. Elayne’s family live in South London. The easiest route to visit them is to travel north on the A3. Just to the north of Petersfield is the only roundabout on the A3 outside the M25.Continue reading “2046 – About The Letters to Steve”
