The last couple of mornings have seen (for me) some remarkably low tides. The picture above shows the rails and supports for the Old Gosport Ferry. The picture was taken around 0640, the tide still had five minutes to run before turning. The distance between the low tide and the high tide mark, clearly visibleContinue reading “201/366 Some Low Tides”

I have only got one or two leaflets left to read. I’ve enjoyed reading them. I don’t know if any more than what I have were published. There has been a lot of talk about the occupants of cemeteries, but it’s the stories of activities at “Famous” Gosport Houses, and the story of Gosport itself.Continue reading “200/366 I’m still on the Journals”

Completely unrelated to walking. I opened the curtains this morning, as I did so, I noticed a fluttering of wings, and what looked like a couple of yellow wagtails flew off, but I couldn’t be sure. Then, this afternoon I looked out the kitchen windows, and low and behold, there they were. What I hadContinue reading “199/366 Walking”

A year or two ago I read a book by Leonard White “The Story of Gosport” It was a very interesting book and I think in the context of recent activities, I probably need to read at least parts of it again. THat’s because there’s a period from 1850 onwards that is particularly interesting aboutContinue reading “198/366 Ideas for Vlogs”

I started doing this /366 thing, because I have had an urge to write for a long time. I have a couple of notebooks that are filled with rubbish that can only be dated between 2005 – 2008, with the particular job that I had at the time. I have other bits of writing asContinue reading “197/366 Putting Pen to..Err, Fingers to Keyboard”

After last weeks cold weather, this week has been positively balmy in comparison. So far, I have been able to get out for a walk every morning and tomorrow is looking good as well. Having said that though, there have been a couple of mornings where there has been quite a breeze blowing. I’ve takenContinue reading “196/366 It changes”

I haven’t checked, but I am pretty sure there’s another post that has the title “A bit of a dilemma”. I have actually, no really, taken the Tom Ang Digital Photography Masterclass book of the shelf and opened it. Of course, I haven’t bothered with the pre-amble, and have gone straight to the assignment. TheContinue reading “195/366 A bit of a dilemma”

Amongst other reasons, this is why I get up and go for a walk in the morning. This morning was an excellent example. As soon as I stepped outside I saw that the sky was brightening. The first part of the walk I normally take has me heading west, away from the sunrise. I doContinue reading “194/366 Lovely Skies”

Out on my walk this morning, I stopped to have a chat with this gentleman. This was about 0630. He’d been there since midnight and hadn’t caught anything, but was not in the least disheartened. He was on the verge of packing up and looking forward to going home to wake up his kids. I’mContinue reading “193/366 The Gosport Journals”

We went out for a walk today around lunchtime. We did just under three miles. Like I always say not a large distance but better than nothing. I had to take a couple of Amazon packages for return so it was useful that the route we took had us passing the drop off point. ItContinue reading “192/366 Out for a walk”
