I think it was the weekend before this one just gone we went into town, the first time in a few weeks I think. As usual, we went in different directions. I have to confess that apart from something interesting to photograph there isn’t that much to draw me to the town centre, unless IContinue reading “1252 – Books”

The Contentin makings its turn to the east to head towards its berth. This picture is absolutely nothing to do with the topic of today’s post. Chocolate plays a continuing part in my downfall. I find it very difficult to ignore the stuff. Today hasn’t helped things. I have four chocolate eggs and their contentsContinue reading “1251 – Chocolate”

This is another picture form yesterday’s walk. Going over the milenium bridge that covers the gap between Priddy’s Hard where the Explosion Museum sits and Weevil Lane next to Clarence Yard. Took this picture, and when I looked at on the big screen I thought “Elephant’s tusks”. These are the arms that support the bridgeContinue reading “1250 – The Durotriges & Beakers”

It was another walk, an afternoon one as I am off today. Plus it’s a walk that I haven’t done for quite a while. Down the side of St Vincents College, over Grove Road Rec and. Priddy’s Hard through the explosion museum and over the bridge. The light was quite stark but that made meContinue reading “1249 Walk & Light”

When I was out for my walk yesterday, I was quite taken by the light – I was walking toward the town and waterfront, the sun was low on the horizon, and for quite a while, straight in to my eyes. Really, quite uncomfortable. This point from where I took this pictures was one fewContinue reading “1248 – The light”

I managed to get out this morning. It was a bit chilly, but I had a very pleasant hour and a bit. I must admit that I got to the harbour expecting to find it empty, but I was greeted by the arrival of the Brittany Ferry Contentin, which was nice. Looking at the ferryContinue reading “1247 – Morning Walk”

It’s going to be another bad post, I literally cannot think of anything to write about. In the past I’ve said that when I suffer from writers block, write about the fact. I’m sat at the desk, pondering various topics, but really nothing is registering at the moment, so it’s going to be another shortContinue reading “1246 – Nothing to write about update”

Sorry, I did start a post but then got distracted. So just a place-holder tonight. Sorry about that.

I have enough space on the wall in my office to put up a personalised Ordnance Survey. I have two at the moment, one for the area where I live now, and one for a part of Dorset that I do know, but want to become even more familiar with. That’s the problem; enough spaceContinue reading “1244 – Maps & Stuff”

It’s Saturday, and we didn’t really want to do very much, but we did want to get out of the house for a bit. Elayne suggested that we go to a local Cafe, Dolly’s for Breakfast which was very nice. I think the Full English is probably my favourite meal. It pretty much lasted meContinue reading “1243 – out for a walk”
