After our experience with Antony Gormley, we went across London for our appointments with Shard. Taking two lifts to get us to the observation deck at 801 feet. Being prepared, I had binoculars with me so we could enjoy the wonderful views of London. We enjoyed a glass of champagne, as you do and IContinue reading “The Shard”

Saturday and Sunday were days of contrasts. I think I’ll have to split this over a couple of posts.

Rascal is giving me that “you are interrupting my eating” look. Misty is less worried about eating, more worried in case the badgers are in the garden. Betty just wants to play. Deep frustration. I was typing this entry at about 8AM when I did something, I don’t know what, and about 4 paragraphs ofContinue reading “Feel Good Fridays”

Here is today’s effort; Having stuck my head out the back door, I couldn’t make my mind upContinue reading “Tuesday, 01 Oct 19”

I departed for Tenantry Farm, between Fordingbridge and Salisbury, just bear with whilst we re do a bit of the journey. I left the M27 at junction 2,Continue reading “The Rockbourne Ride”

The thing that I need to know is, when this post comes u on Facebook, do you as a reader have to do anything extra, that you would not have to do with a normal Facebook post, I would like it to be as seamless as possible. Here are some pictures.

It has been the case that whenever this is on, apart from our first year in Gosport that we are away on holiday. Well, this year we’ve made it again.
