The first part of today was a trip from Tenterden to Bodiam on the Kent & Easr Sussex Light Railway (K&ES). The trip to the railway was across country along some B roads, they were to say the least a bit tight and twisty in places. We arrived with not many minutes to have aContinue reading “1606 – A bit rushed, but not at Rye”

There’s a phenomenon in photography that typically occurs with architecture when pictured using a wide angle lens. It’s called converging verticals. Let’s just say that the verticals of Canterbury Cathedral don’t slope anywhere near like what they do in the picture. Anyhow, you’ll gather that we visited this august city and building today. The cathedralContinue reading “1605 – A Sandwich…in Sandwich? (Oh, and Canterbury)”

I can’t help wondering if you might think like me, that there is a thing about place names. Names that for whatever reason stick in your mind; Angmering is one, Princes Risbororough and Bishops Stortford are others. Of those three names I have a very tenuous link with only one, the others are there becauseContinue reading “1604 – An Ambition fulfilled?”

It’s almost like there was a hiatus – Wetherspoons is now open and working, after what was a £1Million refurbishment, Bon Marche will have opened today and things are happening with McDonalds I can see through the screen, but nothing is visible on the high street. It’s fairly obvious that the bus station won’t beContinue reading “1603 – The Morning Walk”

The light during the last few morning walks has been a glorious gold. I thought these red flowers get a hint that gold. As time marches on the mornings are rapidly becoming normal daylight. I’ll freely admit that it isn’t always easy to get up for my morning walks, but one of the delights isContinue reading “1601 – Morning colour”

I will be brutally honest. The title of today’s post does not reflect that accurate state of my office, it is without putting to fine a point on it a tip. Please don’t think I like it like this, I very much do not. So, what can I do about it? Well every time IContinue reading “1600 – A tidy Office”

Not to the city centre, a different part of the city to attend a special birthday party. We drove up a trip of roughly 70 miles. We left home with a full charge, and arrived at our destination after roughly two hours, and having consumed a third of the batteries capacity. More than enough toContinue reading “1599 – We go to London”

Monday to Friday I usually get out for a walk. When I get home I like to do a facebook post. Whilst I’m on the walk I like to look at what is happening on the walk. When I went through the phase of note getting up, which lasted I reckon 15 months, I wasContinue reading “1598 – The morning walk”

I went out this morning with the intention of recording a number of video segments and then, sometime over the next few days, putting some effort into bringing them together into a single production of 5 – 6 minutes and putting it on YouTube. I’ve been reviewing what I recorded and I still sound aContinue reading “1597 – Stuff”
