2006- A bit of a frustration
This is Stokes Bay, or at least, part of it. Stokes Bay is a shingle beach. It’s also managed. The shingle you can see is not only replenished naturally, it’s boosted by artificial supplements. I haven’t been able to find out much information about that, except that I have just found the Coastal Partners website,Continue reading “2006- A bit of a frustration”
2005 – Camera Club & Observations
Today, you get two pictures. Tonight was the judging for the exhibition. We have six categories. The top picture was in the open, and the bottom in the Architecture groups.

2004 – The Whistler Room at Mottisfont
The Smoking urn by Rex Whistler, in the Whistler Room at Mottisfont The Whistler Room at Mottisfont Today, I had what I can officially class as an amazing experience of an artist whose talent was truly out of this world, Rex Whistler.

2003 – Letter To Steve XIV
Dear Steve, In the 18th Century, it would have been quite acceptable for a gentleman to suggest that someone should obtain a Deer’s head and dissect it to see if what Gilbert called “The Spiracula” could be used by the deer to breathe whilst its nose and mouth are under water (which was the beliefContinue reading “2003 – Letter To Steve XIV”
2002 – Writers Flood?
What’s the opposite of writer’s block, where you freeze because you can’t think of anything to write about? Perhaps Writers Flood? You might think the opposite is, well…just write as normal. But, what if there is so much going through your brain that you can’t make up your mind what to write about? In aContinue reading “2002 – Writers Flood?”
2001 Stokes Bay
I was thinking of a small trip out that we did to a small place not far from us called Warsash. I’ve just found the photos that I took there, and I’m slightly distressed to find that the trip was over 4 years ago. That came as a bit of a shock. But it wasn’tContinue reading “2001 Stokes Bay”
2000 – A writing Milestone
I think I can quite legitimately claim that I am sufficiently well along with this blog that I can “look back” at previous writings. Much as i am doing now. Looking at Post 1000, which was posted on 23 May 2023. At the time of writing, there was an event going on that caused meContinue reading “2000 – A writing Milestone”
1999 – In the Garden

At the moment, I have three very specific areas under observation, these are;The compost binsThe bird feedersAnd now the Ants I’m watching the ants, I saw something today, that I wasn’t expecting. I’m notContinue reading “1999 – In the Garden”
1998 – Artistic Frustration
Today, being the 3rd Tuesday of the month meant exploring art. This mont h’s topic was Domesticity. Now, I’ve known what the topic was since the last session, but I really couldn’t think how to tackle it in my usual way, which was to try and come up with an unusual angle on the subject.Continue reading “1998 – Artistic Frustration”
