It was a real struggle to get up for the morning walk. IK really didn’t feel like it. I usually make a joke about my brain and my body disagreeing about going for a walk, but they were both in unison this morning. Strangely though, I did manage to get up and go for aContinue reading “712 – Tired”

I changed my route by only a few yards. I wanted to have a look at the trees near the Cockle ponds. They are out in the open. Apparently, trees that are exposed to the wind develop their roots a little bit differently, building stronger roots on the side from the direction of the prevailingContinue reading “711 – Nature”

There are a number of channels that I follow on YouTube. Mostly, I have found these accidentally. Others through things like the magazines such as B&W Photography. I’m going to write about Teo Crawford, he is based in Austria, he releases a video about once a week. If you were to take a look atContinue reading “710 – YouTube”

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”
