For a change, here’s a picture of the bird table. Not at it’s busiest today. Visits by the birds are definitely on the up. The Sparrows appear to bee getting a bit more confident about using the feeders. We’ve put a couple more up. So, we’ll see how they go. We had a bird inContinue reading “147/366 The Bird Table”

The only link between the picture and the topic is that a lot of birds and squirrels gather here. Once again, I find myself. Impressed by the iPhone 12.

And this is one of those days, I haven’t been for a walk, I confess I didn’t bother to make the effort to get out. I guess I could have done. I just didn’t bother. Total StepsContinue reading “141/366 An unexciting Friday”

Out for a walk today, nowhere particularly interesting. I had in my mind to take pictures of that which is “Typically Gosport”. Because I am staying away from the high street, I’m not saying my choice of subjects is limited, it’s just that nothing in particular jumped out at me. Until I reached the GeorgeContinue reading “139/366 Out for a walk”
