Is not finished. I reckon it could be another month before it and the new station become operational. What you can’t really see from here is the large amount of groundwork at the other end that needs to be done. Either way, it’s beginning to look as though Gosportians don‘t like it, the main complaintContinue reading “1360 – The New Bus Shelter”

On Sunday we actually managed to get out of Gosport for a few hours. We went to The Thursley Moat, a nature park. There is a lovely walk around the moat, which is really a lake. It’s a haven for Dragonflies, which i love to watch, but they are a difficult subject to to photograph.Continue reading “1359 – We managed to get out”

I knew I had missed a post last night. But it appears that I’d missed two others well – I’m not sure how that happened. I’m sorrry about that – I will make sure to try and do better this week. I’ve promised myself,a ndd kind of to Dave as well that I would atContinue reading “1358 – What happened there?”

I looked out the window this morning and although it wasn’t raining, it was a bit windy and the clouds looked like they wanted to let rip plus the breeze coming in through the window was cold. I just decided to go back to bed. Sorry it’s a short post tonight.

If you are of a sensitive nature, I recommend you don’t read this paragraph. That’s because the boat in the header picture it it’s topic. I think this the night ferry. It runs roughly between midnight and 5AM the period when the normal ferries are having a rest. It has a name which is, IContinue reading “1356 – out and about (or not)”

When I wrote yesterday that I thought the bus stop might have arrived. I was right. The various parts of the bus stop were parked all over the new bus pan or apron or hard – what do they call it? Anyhow, it looks like the support structure is here, what’s missing is the roofContinue reading “1355 – The Bus Station Arrives”

No, I can’t think of a link between them. Perhaps the pilots use them to get to and from work? Managed catch the pilot cutter coming in to the harbour. The first one in quite a while. I saw a lorry today, heading towards the ferry. It looked it might have the components for aContinue reading “1354 – Pilots & Bus stations”

That’s what it seems like I have been doing for a long time. And yet, what a nice weekend we’ve had. We walked in to town yesterday morning, There were quite a few people out and about as the weather was a quite pleasant, We called in to the Discovery Centre (our local library) becauseContinue reading “1353 – Whinging and Moaning”

There are Waterstones in whitely, Fareham and Portsmouth and I think there may also be an oxfam bookshop in fareham there also rather good 2nd hand bookshops in Ryde on the Isle of Wight and in Chichester. We are then locally, quite well served. But not in Gosport, there is a Works and each ofContinue reading “1352 – books”

I really didn’t want to get up this morning. But, somehow I managed it. It’s usually the case, when I feel like that, that once I get out of the house I feel OK. That was the case this morning. The sun was already throwing its heat about, walking towards it was almost painful, IContinue reading “1351 – Out for a walk”
