It’s nearly a week since I last went for my usual walks. My intention in the morning is to go, if I am awake in time and feel OK. I probably won’t do my usual full walk which in the morning is usually around three miles. I’ll see how I feel, as the tiredness hasn’tContinue reading “709 – It’s Nearly a week”

I want to do a couple of posts about photographs taken by other photographers. You know I receive B&W photography every month, I make a point of reading it from cover to cover every month. I quite often talk about how a particular article may make me stop and think. But, I have rarely (indeed,Continue reading “708 – Photography”

This is Rowner Church, The church underwent “restoration” during Victorian times. I put the restoration in quotes because what the Victorians did to churches across the country would nowadays probably be called vandalism. Rowner church, the original church, was built in the 12th century. The only remaining part of the church from that time, isContinue reading “707 – A bit of reading”

I can’t recall the last time I posted a picture on the same subject two nights on the trot. I am doing so deliberately tonight, not because I can’t think of anything to write but because what I don’t seem to be able to do is to have a thread, a common story that runsContinue reading “706 – The Blog”

The church is Knowlton, near Wimborne St Giles. The site is recorded in the Domesday Book, and the henge pre-dates the church. I visited the site twice, last year and the year before. I was going to do a piece about “connecting”, and I was going to waffle on about how I didn’t really understandContinue reading “705 – History”

Thee first UK lockdown was put in place on 23 March 2020. Not quite two and over third years ago. Over the last two or so years we have put a fair bit of effort in to avoiding the illness. As time went on though, it became almost inevitable that at some point we wouldContinue reading “704 – Ummm.. Covid!”

I have suddenly realised that I feel exactly the same as I felt after I had my first Covid Jab – completely drained. It’s 1920, and I want to go to bed. If I feel like this in the morning, I won’t be going for a walk, which is a pain. Especially as I lovedContinue reading “703 – Monday”

I don’t know why it has taken so long for me to realise that the back streets of Gosport offer some rich photographic pickings. I’m not going to become obsessed wit this, but it is something that I am going to keep an eye on. I’ve been playing with my setup. This WordPress account nowContinue reading “702 – Sunday Stroll”

We aren’t sure how, but one of us has tested positive. I’m not going to say anything more other than I did a test this morning, and it was negative. I will of course test again in a day or so. The recommendations are significantly relaxed and it doesn’t stop me from going out. So,Continue reading “701 – It was bound to happen.”

Not quite two years that is, since I started being serious about this blog. I’ve just gone back to post No. 1, it was there that I committed to doing the blog for a year. Obviously, I have gone beyond that. Now, I did have a glitch – WordPress has an internal post count. IContinue reading “700 – Not Quite”
