Just a single picture of part of King’s Somborne. This village is on the route of the Clarendon Way. This is a walk that runs from Salisbury to Winchester, a distance of about 24 miles. Every year, the Naomi House Children’s Hospice sponsors a walk on the route. This year, there were just over 100Continue reading “31/365 The Clarendon Way Walk”

Admittedly, this could be a cruise ship anywhere. But it isn’t. It’s one of seven ships that were today anchored in the bay off Weymouth, Dorset. The ships are (the only word I can think of) furloughed because of Corona Virus. This is the Aurora, owned by the Carnival Line, The other ships were; MarellaContinue reading “30/365 Splendid Isolation”

The gulls descend on the thrown chips, a ravening hoard, screaming and bellowing they fight for each chip. It would be nice to think that they all get their fair share, but sadly I don’t think they do.

Most mornings, at this time (0615 or thereabouts, there are very few people about, perhaps a rough sleeper or two,Continue reading “26/365 Black & White”

I had a bit of a dilemma, I took three or four pictures of contrails. They have all been a bit absent over the last few weeks. I must admit I’m a bit conflicted over contrails at the moment. Perhaps it was a cargo flight, I should have looked it up on Flight Radar, Anyhow,Continue reading “25/365 Contrails”

We were out for walk today. We were following a “Treasure Trail” around Gosport, there were 20 clues over a two mile trail. I took this picture at the end of the trail. It was a lovely day, warm, wind free, very comfortable out walking in shorts. We thoroughly enjoyed doing the trail, which isContinue reading “24/365 Clouds & Water”

Horndean & District Amateur Radio Club – my club. When the Covid-19 lockdown started, our twice monthly meetings stopped, that was March. August sees the meetings starting again, This being September I have resisted attending, until tonight. I must admit I felt uncomfortable. Everybody wore masks, nobody was obviously ill, I made a point ofContinue reading “22/365 HDARC”
