All over covid, I think there were very few days that I didn’t post. It was helped by the fantasy holidays and my walks. I haven’t been getting up in the morning, it started off just not feeling like geting up through to having a pain in my leg that made it very uncomfortable toContinue reading “1080 – Facebook”

Perhaps I should say upfront that I know that ley lines aren’t real (I think I’ve written something like this before but I can’t find it) they aren’t lines of mystical energy – but, wouldn’t it be interesting if they were? What is it about our brains that drives us in a particular obsession. EvenContinue reading “1079 – Ley Lines”

I’m going to keep going. My goal is to reach 1095. There are seventeen posts to go. I’m not stopping completely but I am not sure when I am going to stop, nor exactly when I will resume. Also, there will be intermittent posts.

We fancied a cup of tea down at Pebbles on Stokes Bay. There was quite a breeze blowing. I wanted to for a bit of a stroll, so I headed towards Gilkicker. There’s a lot of work going on there. Since the last time I visited the fort, they have restricted access so that youContinue reading “1077 – Walking in the wind”

We were visiting with the intention of having a take out. The trouble was we couldn’t agree. Then somebody mentioned the new all you can eat place in Fareham. So we booked a table and went and had some rather delicious food. Here I am some three hours after the event still feeling comfortably full.Continue reading “1076 – Eating Out”

We have plans for tomorrow but I don’t have plans for Sunday. If I had it in me, I could do one of the videos that I’ve been thinking about.

I managed to get out for a lunchtime walk today, not far. Only just over a couple of miles. I walked past the cockle ponds which was nice. There has been some refurbishment going on which is good.. I walked down the road that goes past the trinity vicarage and also the gates to Gosport’sContinue reading “1074 – Gosport Bastion 1”

Over a period of time, I will flit between interests; history, astronomy, railways, photography (actually, that’s pretty consistent – it’s getting out my DSLR that I do infrequently) but the one activity that is really consistent is writing. I can’t think of a day certainly over most of the last three years, and whilst aContinue reading “1073 – Writing”

I had every intention of getting up for a walk this morning. But, when it came to it I just couldn’t do it. I recognise this is pathetic, and I am now getting quite worried about my lack of exercise. Even when it came to lunchtime, I had intended to at least get a coupleContinue reading “1072 – Monday”

I bought a book on Saturday, about the subject. Even the sales assistant commented on the slightly gruesome cover. It’s a period of our history of which pretty much know nothing, just a couple of things that happened here in Gosport. I wonder what impact it had on Dorset? I think Corfe Castle may haveContinue reading “1071 – The English Civil War”
