For the first time in nearly three weeks I managed to get up and go for my morning walk. I didn’t do the normal three miles, just two and a bit. It was a pleasant enough walk. Although it was very good to get back on the #Breakfastclub again. I followed my normal route. NotContinue reading “819 – Morning Walk”

Just want to say Thank you to Mark for last nights guest blog. He’s been itching to do it for a while, and last nights effoerts was a worthy result. Windsor castle is a very active institution. The Coldstream Guards are on duty 24 hours and the King was in residence for part of ourContinue reading “818 – Windsor Castle”

This weekend the blog has been hijacked by our good friends Mark and Helen! We’re meeting them at Windsor for a trip round the castle and a well needed catchup so a leisurely dinner in the hotel is happening. Both of us suffered from excessive traffic this morning. Mark and Helen got stuck on theContinue reading “817 – Lovely day out”

We sat at the waterfront at lunchtime, and enjoyed a sausage role for lunch. I can think of no link at all between the waterfront at Gosport and the departure of the Commodore for Jersey and Stone circles – there just isn’t one. For a bit I am going to stick with the Neolithic eraContinue reading “816 – Ships and Stone Circles”

The picture is nothing to do with the title. It’s from Gilbert White’s garden. I don’t have a picture of the Henge that I have taken. I haven’t been there for a good ten to fifteen years, although I have driven quite near it a couple of times. I was watching a YouTube programme aboutContinue reading “815 – Stonehenge”

It’s that time of the year again. My wife is now pestering me to write the family Christmas letter for inclusion in all the Christmas Cards we send. Writing the Christmas Letter is sometimes, well, most of the time, a surprisingly stressful activity. Sometimes it’s really easy, other times it is much more difficult. TheContinue reading “814 – Christmas Letters”

It would help a bit if it weren’t really autumnal weather. The showers are intense and frequent. Whenever I get ready to go for a walk, it starts raining. Most frustrating. So yesterday, I wrote about struggles that I am having. I was thinking this evening that perhaps I could start a project of someContinue reading “813 – Projects”

It sounds wimpish and excuse-ridden. I have been having a struggle lately. I’ve given up my role as treasurer of my radio club, a position I have held for six years. I confess to some relief at having given up the role. Sometime soon, I will be giving up my role as secretary of myContinue reading “812 – Struggles”

To be fair, I didn’t intend to walk in the rain, but I knew it would be the only time I would be able to get out today, and we needed a couple of bits. Although the clouds were heavy there was always the chance the rain would hold off. Luckily, I wore my decentContinue reading “811 – Walking in the Rain”
