The (I suppose you could call it an) Obelisk is one of two at the ferry end of Gosport High Street, hence, these are the Ferry Gates. Almost at the other end of the High Street are two more, these are called the Clarence Gate. Their location next to Clarence Road Sid presumably not aContinue reading “269/366 A Busy Day”

The almost is that I went for a tun on Monday, it was a bank holiday, so I went early, and ended up not going for a walk. Apart from that, I went for a walk every morning this week. Sometimes it can be a struggle to get up. But for some reason it hasContinue reading “268/366 A week of walking (almost)”

The last few days the weather has been a bit rough, I’m not going to describe it as bad because I like rough weather; I like the wind and the rain, and the snow (not that we’ve had any and only if I don’t have to go out in it – especially driving) and I’mContinue reading “267/366 This Mornings’ walk”

Out for my walk this morning. I arrived at the Cockle Ponds to be confronted by this. I was outraged. I simply do not understand why someone would do this, or how they could derive pleasure from this. The second I saw this I sent a picture and a tweet to Gosport Street Scene. IContinue reading “266/366 Oh Dear!”

The water in the cockle pond was so rough this morning that I wasn’t able to see any of the jelly fish, or anything else. Hopefully, I will tomorrow. Sorry – this is about me again. I have interests, as much as I avoid writing about them here, I won’t deny my interest in politicsContinue reading “265/366 Obsessions or Interests?”

In this months issue what is unavoidable is the impression of the anticipation of the lifting of the Covid-19 Lockdowns. We aren’t quite there yet but it is getting closer unless something drastic goes wrong. I get the view that most of the contributors to the magazine tend to travel alone on their treks. There’sContinue reading “264/366 Country Walking Margazine”

I went out to the shed so that I could get a screw to put up my wall mounted barometer. I’ve tried picture hooks and they didn’t work – wrong size. I’m pleased that it is now up, and I can look at it every day. But that isn’t the story. When I went outContinue reading “263/366 A morning for a walk.”

A couple of pictures for you today. The weather looked absolutely lovely this morning so we decided we would go for a little bike ride, and a walk. One of our favourite destinations is Stokes Bay. We set off and realised that although the sun was bright, the air was still quite chilly. We wereContinue reading “262/366 A Bike Ride”

There were thousands of jelly fish in the cockle pond this morning, a swarm of them. I’ve written a lot about them. I’ve also written a lot about the photographs I’ve taken this week. I’ve also written a lot about the birds. I’ve enjoyed writing about them. But I don’t think the writing has beenContinue reading “261/366 A week of Writing”

What I don’t want to do is just describe the weather. When I go out for my walk in the morning, I can measure windspeed, temperature (ambient, dew point, chill), pressure (inches of mercury or HectoPascals or millibars (I prefer millibars)) I have a hydrometer which measures relative humidity It’s a broken sensor, it neverContinue reading “260/366 The Weather”
