The workmen on the People’s Park. Taken yesterday. I have taken some pictures with the Nikon, but I haven’t transferred them across yet. This morning was the monthly meeting of all Gosport U3A. There was a talk Richard Osgood about “Rat Island”. This is a slightly repelling, but facinating place in Portsmouth harbour. At highContinue reading “1924 – U3A, March Week 1”

1923 – Camera Club
I didn’t get out for a walk today, nor did I get any ironing done. It’s surprising how quickly the family can interfere with plans, as happened today. Luckily, it has turned out OK. Also, after my run to Portsmouth ended, I got home, sat at the computer, and promptly fells asleep. Another bit ofContinue reading “1923 – Camera Club”
1922 – Monday
I spent a couple of hours at the Gosport Shed. It was the Monday Meeting, which was really brief, literally about 5 minutes, and the morning auction was even briefer, with only three items; a table lamp and two coats on offer I had to pop back home, but then went into town, I postedContinue reading “1922 – Monday”
1921 – The Gilbert White Letter II.
I’ve repeated the use of last nights bad picture quite deliberately. In my post 1911 Making Smoke, I wrote a letter to my friend Steve on the lines of Gilbert Whites Letter No. II from his book, The Natural History of Selborne. Today’s post continues what I hope will be a trend of letters; HiContinue reading “1921 – The Gilbert White Letter II.”
1920 – Trees and other stuff
Firstly, I apologise for the appalling picture, but I need it to illustrate a point. Secondly, I apologise for last nights rushed post. Even this post may get pushed out prematurely, and then updated as I want to maintain the WordPress publishing count. I’ve had a really quite enjoyable day. I got up fairly early,Continue reading “1920 – Trees and other stuff”
1919 – Ooops. – Sorry.
Apologies – we had a long day out, not long back. Not able to do a post this evening, but wanted to keep the count going.
1918 – Camera Club Night
I’m fairly confident that the main vessel in the header is the Dredger Bluefin, which operates in this area a lot. From the direction it is heading (in towards Southampton), it’s either returning from dropping a load at the spill ground or coming in to prepare for a deredging task. Tuesday was, as usual, CameraContinue reading “1918 – Camera Club Night”
1917 – A New Chair
I went in to town this morning. I had a couple of things that I needed to do, not difficult. They were dispatched quickly, I felt able to carry on to the waterfront. Just in time to see this little fishing vessel come in. I used to see them going out very early in theContinue reading “1917 – A New Chair”
1916 – A Lovely day.
We had a bit of admin to deal with first thing, Once that was sout of the way I was able to head into town. Unfortunately, I was having a problem with my hearing aids. Went back to Scrivens, who had supplied them to me, and one of their staff, a young man, immediately andContinue reading “1916 – A Lovely day.”
1915 – U3A Monday, Feb Week 4

The meeting is held in the Vine on Stoke Road, very nice. Run by Antony, he makes sure. that we don’tContinue reading “1915 – U3A Monday, Feb Week 4”
