The header picture doesn’t have anything to do with Neolithic times. But it is near Gosport’s Mott & Bailey. This is the site of the Apple Dumpling Bridge. I wrote a post a while ago about my interest in Neolithic sites and asking how to connect with people who built Stone Henge or Avebury, butContinue reading “1012 – connecting with the past”

1011 – Just Writing
The iPhone camera is perfectly adequate for vlogging. I’ve now recorded several videos on it. For the most part, I have everything I need to do vlogging. what I don’t have is the practice or the stories. Both of those are down to me. One problem I do have is the external microphone – mineContinue reading “1011 – Just Writing”
1010 – interests
This is not a Neolithic site, it’s the garden at Holme for Gardens, which is a place to take a very pleasant stroll, have a browse in the garden centre, there’s some lovely cakes in the shop, and the food in the cafe is delicious. Well worth a visit. And, disappointingly, this is one ofContinue reading “1010 – interests”
1010 – Saturday 03 Jun 23
Even though I’ve put today’s date in the title of today’s entry – there is nothing really special to report about today. We had a nice breakfast of pancakes and whiled away a bit of time watching the starlings on the bird table, and the pigeons trying to get on to the table. You don’tContinue reading “1010 – Saturday 03 Jun 23”
1009 – baby starlings
I know I can’t feed all birds everywhere, I would see no one, or nothing starve. I can’t even feed all of the local wildlife all of the time. But I do what I can. What that means is that some of local birds and the odd squirrel get a rather nice breakfast of groundContinue reading “1009 – baby starlings”
1008 – Dave Ford
Who is Dave Ford you may well ask? If you don’t use YouTube at all, Dave is one of those people who makes it worthwhile to do so. Dave has done quite a few videos of his walks, mostly around Dorset, but some around Hampshire as well. He’s out with Logan his whippet usually doingContinue reading “1008 – Dave Ford”
1007 – oops
I have been distracted and nearly forgot to do my blog. Unforgivable. It’s going to be a dreadful posti am really sorry,
1006 – Podcasting v Vlogging v Blogging
I think I first encountered podcasts around 2003. At that time I had a regular two hour drive to work. I bought my first iPod, Now, I do liked a bit of music, but not much, I know what I like and am not interested in the rest. So what could I put on thisContinue reading “1006 – Podcasting v Vlogging v Blogging”
1005 – Bank Holiday
It was a lovely bright day. The only job I had to do was to sort this mornings bin, it’s the grey bin – normal household stuff. That done, I had breakfast, but first, I loaded up the bird table. It didn’t take long for the babies to arrive, and the parents weren’t far behind.Continue reading “1005 – Bank Holiday”
1004 – Starlings
I’ve just realised that I have no recent pictures of Starlings. At least the header picture is a bird! Today being Sunday I delayed loading the bird table for two reasons; the first is the squirrel, they are greedy. I’m happy that they clear the table of the previous days meals, but I’d really preferContinue reading “1004 – Starlings”
