Rain & wind have been big features of today. Because the wind is blowing from the south, opening our front door can be a bit hazardous. A failure to control could result in being thumped is the wind pushes at it. I wanted to get to the waterfront. The separation at the port entrance givesContinue reading “1832 – It’s a bit rough!”

Today, members of the Gosport Camera Club went for a delightful walk along the River Itchen, starting at the Woodmill Centre. How do you find out about places like this, other than through friends? If you want a calm, peaceful walk along a lovely rivers edge, you would be very hard pushed to find somewhereContinue reading “1831 – Woodmill & The River Itchen”

The house at the end of our road has his Christmas lights up. It’s always a nice display, and I think it has fired Elayne in to getting our decs down out of the loft and up ready for christmas. It seems that writing will play a role in my retirement, well at least, untilContinue reading “1829 – Writing”

Last night, I had a post lined up, all ready to go and must have got distracted because I forgot to post it. Which means my 70+ day count – since the last time I forgot to post has now reset to zero, and I begin again. I have to mention that I am almostContinue reading “1828 – Annoyance”

I’m not going to write about it here, but when the time comes, I will mention it. That won’t be until probably early next year. I apologise forContinue reading “1825 – Sorry – feeling Tired”

I’m not going to post a picture of the Christmas tree in the town square yet. It is up, but the lights haven’t been installed, so it isn’t quite ready. I wanted to go for a walk. The rain was very intermitent, so big rain coat, it was cold so gloves and flatcap all helpedContinue reading “1824 – Saturday”

I have no idea what footfall in the high street is normal between 12 – 2 ish, so I am assuming that today was normal for the time of the year. I make that point because when I went out first thing to put some rubbish out I said to Elayne that the sun wasContinue reading “1823 – A midday stroll”
