Reading the SoA has been held up a bit this week. With the arrival of the B&W Photography magazine, and Country Walking. The thing is with the magazines, when they arrive, I like to read them straight away. Anyhow, that done I was able to get back to the SoA. At the moment, we areContinue reading “88/365 The Story of Art”

A couple of years ago, I happened to pick up a walking magazine in the News Agents; Country Walking https://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/country-walking-magazine It was probably about this time of year when they were starting to talk about their annual challenge of walking 1000 miles. To walk 1000 miles in a year, you have to walk an averageContinue reading “87/365 Walk 1000 Miles”

We caught the ferry over Ouistreheim, Caenand were booked in a hotel there. With the intention of exploring the Normandy coast for aContinue reading “We Will Remember Them”

I went for a walk into town this morning. I did have to go into a couple of shops, but the main thing was to get out. It was worth it, Being a lovely bright day. Slightly on the chilly side. But it was a real pleasure to get out. I was quite surprised thatContinue reading “86/365 Saturday Morning”

There’s a frustration when I arrive at the waterfront, and I find the conditions as they are in the picture. The cloud line is low, so there really isn’t that much drama. Even as the sun rises, there almost isn’t enough cloud to add much to the drama. Not only that, but as the sunriseContinue reading “85/365 Sunrise”

Two for the price of one today. I couldn’t make up my mind which one to use. There’s something about the Gosport ferry, and the blue seats bottom right which appeals to me. For the 2nd day, I arrived at the waterfront whilst a ferry was on it’s way in. The Mon St Michell wasContinue reading “84/365 Ferries”

These days, this is a comparatively rare experience. To see one of the Brittany Ferries coming in to Portsmouth Harbour. This morning I was lucky enough to arrive at the waterfront whilst the Armorique was in the “Bar Channel” I’m not sure why it is called that. There are a number of bouys marked withContinue reading “83/365 The Armorique”

I hadn’t clicked that I had started blogging on the 27th of September last year. So I have now been blogging for more than a year. I’ve just gone back to the beginning. My very first post really wasn’t up to much. Am I any better now? Perhaps a little more confident. Having looked backContinue reading “82/365 What to Blog?”

Yesterday weather was wind & rain. It was a typical autumn day. Made darker by the heavy clouds. I felt like going for a walk. I didn’t though. Not sure why. It kind of felt like a busy day. Let’s not talk about that tonight, instead lets talk about the seasons in general. My leastContinue reading “81/365 Autumn”

We had to pop over to Hill Head, near Lee-on-the-Solent, we ended up on the waterfront next to Titchfield Haven, a local nature reserve. The weather was extremely autumnal, rain, wind, kind of not that cold, but the rain was fine highly penetrating drizzle that makes it really uncomfortable. Well, whilst there is only oneContinue reading “80/365 Kite Surfers”
