I have just acquired these two beauties. Now they aren’t DCC ready, but they are DCC compatible, so I can get them modified. That will cost me a little bit of money, but that is OK. I also have a fair bit of track. Now, whether it is the right kind of track remains toContinue reading “1375 – More Trains”

Yes, but a lot smaller than that. N-Gauge no less. Not the smallest (I think that’s Z-Gauge) but it is small. It has always appealed to me. Not least because you can fit a reasonable layout into a relatively small space. I have, for a very long time, had aspirations to build an N-Gauge layout,Continue reading “1374 – Model Railways”

I didn’t go for a walk this morning, so I don’t know if the two trollies have been cleared, or indeed, added to. Hopefully tomorrow. I went to the gallery shop up and picked up the bool. It looks like it could be an interesting read. The Highways and Byways of Hampshire. I think IContinue reading “1373 – Books – Again”

The thing about the sky behind the Spinnaker is that it is never the same. This morning’s walk was a bit cooler than it has been, no issues with that. Once again there wasn’t much going on between the front door and the far end of the high street. I haven’t bothered taking any picturesContinue reading “1372 – Books”

I went out for a walk this morning. There was nothing really spectacular going on. The seagulls were very noisy. I was relieved that we didn’t live nearer the waterfront. There was some progress on the bus station, I think the roof is coming along they are putting in the electrics. I missed the ContentinContinue reading “1371 – Walking”

When we woke up this morning, as we were drinking our first cup of tea, we made a plan for the day. It was a good plan, and we were both looking forward to putting the plan in to action. The plan did not survive first contact with The Lad. He phoned us and withinContinue reading “1370 – Conversations”

I read a blog called The Gorse Fox. He writes about his life. Only a few paragraphs, perhaps four or five, rarely longer than that. I found his blog years ago, well before he retired. What I liked about, apart from the fact it was very well written was that he’d given everybody pseudonyms. ForContinue reading “1369 – Saturday”

Not got out enough this week, really must try and do better. Well, that’s one goal for next week, I should set myself another, but I really can’t think of one at the moment. I downloaded a list of shops on the highstreet from the council website a few weeks ago it’s dated 2019 soContinue reading “1368 – Not a good walking week”

This building always attracts my attention when I’m on the high street. I’d love to know what style of architecture it is. The shop on the ground floor is run by a chap who is very trusting. A couple of weeks ago, I went in to get a new screensaver for my phone. He putContinue reading “1367 – Brief Post”

I was playing with the phone, as I was walking around and unintentionally took this picture. It makes me smile. The walk this morning was very pleasant. Nothing much going on. The new road between the cross streets isn’t taking traffic yet, but it can’t be much longer. The bus stop is being worked on,Continue reading “1366 – Sometimes, a picture makes me smile”
