Where do I begin with this? Gardening is not my favourite activity. What job I am doing in the garden depends whether or not I am, well, I’m not going to say enjoy it, or actively dislike it. For example, I don’t mind cutting the grass but don’t ask me to handle dirt. Sounds patheticContinue reading “1313 – A day in the Garden”

On the day I found a trolley in the cockle ponds there were two. This second one was a bit further out, it must have taken a bit of effort to throw it out there, I’d say more than one person to throw it in. Sorry about today’s brief post. I’ve sat for a goodContinue reading “1312 – A bit forlorn”

I decided that I had to look up what the transport plan was for Gosport. I haven’t finished reading yet, so I’m not fully aware of transport plan, but there were several options for the new bus shelter, I haven’t reached the point in the document where the decision is made as to which oneContinue reading “1311 – Before I fell asleep…”

Streetscene is a Gosport Council department. As the title suggests they look after the streets. To be fair, I think they do a pretty good job, I often see them whilst out on my walks, and will often stop to have a chat. They are though, facing an uphill challenge and keeping the town cleanContinue reading “1310 – The Silly Beggars”

I do have a couple of other pictures, from a different angle, but that are not as sharp as this (not that, by any means, do I claim this picture is pin sharp). Anyhow, these two little beasties were on top of or recycle bin, so I thought I’d grab a picture. The thing is,Continue reading “1309 – Snails”

I thought pipes and the light caused an interesting shadow.. Once again, nothing to do with the top[c of this post. It’s strange isn’t it? How things work, that is. Within only a couple of minutes after publishing last night’s post, I went on line and did a search and it was on a siteContinue reading “1308 – Maps – again”

The picture (if you’ll excuse me stating the obvious) is nothing to do with the topic for today’s post, but in away symbolises my problem. The picture is nothing to do with maps. If I had a picture of the map I want, I could have posted it, but I don’t. I don’t have aContinue reading “1307 – Maps”

We went over together to Portsmouth for a birthday celebration we were going to a restaurant for a nice meal and then a visit to the cinema. We caught the ferry across the water in the harbour was quite choppy. Whilst it was a little bit breezy there was a continuous stream of small boatsContinue reading “1306 – Across the Water”

Jane Austen, Gilbert White and Charles Dickens are all famous or well known and were people with connections to Hampshire. There are also places that are of interest, a lot of them associated with the run up to D-Day, Winchester, which has a significant History, and of course places like Highclere which is famous forContinue reading “1305 – People & places”

This is The Manor House at Longleat. I wanted a picture of a really nice old house. I went on a trip today, it involved travelling on the A34. As I was driving along, quite near to Newbury, I went past a sign saying Highclere. Now, you will either know, or not know the significanceContinue reading “1304 – Thoughts on another trip”
