We had a weekend at Heythrop Park, A Warner Leisure. It was with our cruise buddies, and it was lovely to spend some time with them. Saturday was a highlight day, apart from the rain being delivered by Storm Bert. As time got closer for us to go away I had a look to seeContinue reading “1473 – We visit the RollRight Stones”

I’ll write about these tomorrow. Too tired now, sorry.

I went out for a bit of a stroll and came across this grassed area. I paused for a couple of minutes to ponder. I willing to bet that this group of molehills _(one of several groups I could see, and knowing where it is) is driving somebody absolutely bonkers, disrupting what is overall aContinue reading “1471 Moles or People?”

We went to see a tribute band tonight. Not something that I would normally do. They featured Brian Adam’s and Bon Jovi. We had about ninety minutes of music. Now, I have to say that in my highly unqualified view, they are an excellent band. The problem is that apart from a few tracks thatContinue reading “1470 – Out of my comfort zone”

It started snowing here this morning. It was coming down quite heavily, with large flakes. But the ground was wet and not frozen, so it didn’t settle. Within an hour or so it had all gone. I could have got up for a walk this morning, but ended up not doing so, for no otherContinue reading “1469 – It Snowed”

I managed to get up this morning and go for a walk. It was a good opportunity to give my new winter jacket a tryout. Which it passed with flying colours, I didn’t feel at all cold. Except my ears. Even though I had a flat cap on, my ears were exposed. It’s been quiteContinue reading “1468 – Ships coming in”

The topic at the club tonight was portraiture. I can’t show you any of the results of tonights efforts as i haven’t transferred them across from the main camera – probably tomorrow. But it dies give me something to write about. There were two setups; a diffused light with a built in flash, against aContinue reading “1467 – Tuesday at the camera club”

Last week when we went to Chichester, I bought a new coat. I think it was quite a good deal a 50% reduction in price followed by a further 20% reduction due to my having a voucher. I haven’t worn the coat in anger yet. I made the decision not to wear the new coatContinue reading “1466 – Monday Morning Walk”

This is not a 100% accurate inglenook layout, but it will do for my needs. Amongst other things, that is learning how to lay track, and will include installing points motors, and wiring for a DCC network. I have a choice of do I put cork under the track, or not? Should use track pinsContinue reading “1465 – The Model Railway”

I had several opportunities to take pictures today. Unfortunately, they weren’t really on my mind. No particular reason, they just weren’t. It was a fairly active day, I think I did more steps that I have doe for the previous five days. Not doing anything particularly special, just walking in to town, exploring the charityContinue reading “1464 – Saturday”
