Running entirely in parallel to my blog for most of the past year I’ve been a member of this site; https://365project.org/ I log in every day and see what photos have been uploaded, and write a comment on some of them. I haven’t rally explored the site perhaps as much as I should have done.Continue reading “352/366 Project 365”

Three things you should know; I know the picture is nothing whatsoever to do with fishing. This piece has nothing whatsoever to do with fishing, any fishing featured is incidental. I have absolutely no interest in fishing. The Marks in the title isn’t the name of a person; it’s Local Marks, places to go fishing.Continue reading “351/366 Local Marks Fishing”

It seems hardly credible, but here we are with only just over two weeks to go until my 366 project comes to an end. I can almost feel the dawn of the next phase heading towards me. I said the to deliberately put a positive spin on it, because I really don’t see it asContinue reading “350/366 On the Road”

The August edition was loaded with articles associating walks with famous authors. Who doesn’t love Winnie the Pooh and his friends? Have you played Pooh-Sticks? It’s great fun. What would it be to play it off the original bridge in the Hundred Acre Wood. Of Pooh’s friends, Tigger would be the most annoying if itContinue reading “349/366 Country Walking Magazine”

The rather spectacular sight of the Golden Horizon coming in to Portsmouth Harbour, understandably, not under sail although that would be even more spectacular, if not at all practical. The Golden Horizon is the largest sailing cruise ship in the world. An absolute pleasure to see it come in. The timing wasn’t right. I wentContinue reading “348/366 A change of routine”

I wanted to go for a walk but it had been raining a fair bit during the day. It was too warm to wear a raincoat, so I took a brolly with me. I did to use it two or three times, but it was absolutely fine. When I got to the end of StokesContinue reading “347/366 Out for a walk”

I went for a walk at 6PM this evening. First time in quite a while I’ve been out at that time of the day. The contrast is with the morning. Of course the light was different, but the main differences were that there were people around, lots more people. Out strolling, or on a missionContinue reading “346/366 Contrasts”

This time two years ago, our impending 2020 trip to China was really beginning to take shape in our minds. As time moved on and Covid-19 was really beginning to raise its ugly head the the thought of not going was very near changing from a possibility to a likelihood through to a certainty, weContinue reading “345/366 Writing”

These last few days it has been hot. Almost uncomfortably so, but I have managed. I hope you have as well. Only a few days ago, we were moaning about the amount of rain we were having. I’ve spent a period time in an environment where you can pretty much guarantee that it will beContinue reading “344/366 Weather”

This house is at the side of Spring Garden Lane. It’s next to the railway station. In times gone past the railway line would have gone over this road. The people lived here in Queen Victoria’s time would have been a part of history. They would have seen trains going past in to the Navy’sContinue reading “343/366 Stuff”
