We went to Southampton today. In particular we wanted to look at some stuff in John Lewis, after that I had a bit of spare time so I went and had a browse around waterstones. There are a few books that I’d love to read, but I have more than enough to get on with.Continue reading “1293 – Southampton”

The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon that i have always longed to see. A few years ago, we went on a cruise that included visiting various parts of Iceland, and we even had a brief foray into the Arctic Circle. I was very hopeful that we would see the Northern Lights, but sadly itContinue reading “1292 – The Northern Lights”

Things went aa little awry today. No real problems, I just ran out of time, and haven’t really thought of a reasonable post. So, this is just a place holder.

Every day that I go for a walk, if I follow my normal route, I will walk past the bus station. To be honest, I don’t pay it a lot of attention, or at least I haven’t been. Whilst not becoming obsessed, that will change a little bit. I’ll hazard a bet that sometime inContinue reading “1290 – The Bus Station”

I was a bit fired up after yesterday’s facebook post, which was incredibly well received by my friends, and was going to do a post about what was happening at the cross streets (north & south), which are about halfway down the high street. From a period sometime before we arrived in town these twoContinue reading “1289 – How it went this morning”

I went for a walk this morning. Before I left I checked the temperature and it was 10C. I thought that might be a bit cold, so in addition to my coat I put on a fleece, my flat cap and started out. Pretty much by the time I reached the end of the streetContinue reading “1288 – Walking”

I want to tell you a little bit about the bird table, I am delighted to say that it is quite popular with the local bird population, particularly the starlings. They are an absolute delight. It is also popular with the pigeons, now really I don’t mind them – most of the time. But justContinue reading “1287 – The Bird Table”

I want to write about my plans for the week ahead. The trouble is that if I go into specific details of what is on the schedule and I then don’t accomplish the plan, I both look and feel a bit silly. I have some stuff planned, which I may or may not do, butContinue reading “1286 – The week ahead”

At one point today, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to follow my plans to visit Ron Lines, the Railway shop. But, in the end the change of plans worked to my advantage and the visit went ahead. The manager (owner?) and his assistant were very friendly and extremely helpful. After a briefContinue reading “1285 – The Railway shop visit”

Our visit to the Watercress line last week has once more inspired me to look at my non-existent model railway. At this stage I have a very rough idea of what I want to do, but only the most basic idea of how to do it. So tomorrow I’m going on a little adventure. There’sContinue reading “1284 – railways”
