It isn’t something that I’ve given any thought about. But I am excited to find that Gosport has several Sites of Special Scientific Interest. It’s quite likely that in the past, I’ve been near one. But, I’ve never thought of it before. It’s another positive thing for which Gosport should be known. I had aContinue reading “288/366 SSSI’s”

The picture is of one the Clarence Gates at the western end of the high street. I managed to get the sun through the glass globe at the top of the gate. I made a slight change to my route this morning, so that I walked the length of Spring Garden Lane. I am tryingContinue reading “287/366 Out and about”

Frustratingly none of the pictures I took on this morning’s walk really inspired me, this is perhaps the closest. It’s the blue in the sky and the water and the green of the grass. When I was at college I did geology. I’d never done it before. But I haven’t forgotten how much I enjoyedContinue reading “286/366 My Brain”

From the picture it’s obvious that there were some clouds about, but the blue sky was as striking a blue as the grass is green. It’s just sad that the tree is a victim of the winds over the weekend. The weather can really dictate how the walk feels. It was quite cloudy as IContinue reading “285/366 A bright, clear sky”

It;s not that the weather has been all over the place, it hasn’t. It has been windy and wet, and occasionally a bit cold. To me, this isn’t rough weather, it has character. I enjoy it. Walking westwards along Stokes Road I was walking into the wind. It’s been very brisk all weekend. We hadContinue reading “284/366 Out for a walk”

Just a minor apology for yesterday’s article, a couple of mis-types, now corrected. Once again, rushing to publish, but all sorted now hopefully. Yesterday was a very windy day. The house in the picture, if you were to look at the map of the Weald & Downland Living Museum is R4 – The rural farmhouseContinue reading “283/366 Saturday”

Firstly, I need to apologise for last nights post. It really was quite a dreadful piece of writing. I was supposed to write about the weather. I wanted to make it an article about meteorology rather than just the weather, but I lost it completely. It was a case of just get something published. IContinue reading “282/366 Writing the Week”

I don’t know what kind of clouds these are. I know they aren’t cirrus or stratus, they’re storm clouds? I think Cumulonimbus Nimbus are the high thundercloud. What all of this is leading up to is that I am a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, because I always look at and admire the clouds.Continue reading “281/366 The Weather”

I’ve said before that I am reading Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People. Written in the year 731. I have to confess, that for the first time since I started this blog project, I am having major problems writing about a book that I am reading. For the time being, I think I amContinue reading “280/366 Book of the week”

The walk to the waterfront usually takes me just about 10 minutes. I follow the same route most of the time. As I leave the house, I look up at the sky, to see what it looks like. I’ve looked at it once already out of the bedroom window, but that was 10 minutes ago,Continue reading “279/366 The Waterfront”
