Not only have I never been to Exbury Gardens, before today I had never heard of it. We wanted do something other than just got to the shops, we can do that any time. We wanted to just get out for a bit. Elayne found the place, it looked interesting, so we thought we’’d giveContinue reading “1259 – Exbury”

I’ve suddenly realised that it’s bit late, and that apart from writing about the sudden episode of very uncomfortable back ache that I’ve developed, I can’t think any topic for tonights post. So, we could be heading for another brief post. I don’t know how I did it, certainly not an incorrect lift. But theContinue reading “1258 – After last night…”

Another B&W picture tonight, this one is of the Abbey at Romsey. There is a lot of history there. But the purpose of tonights post isn’t talk about that. It occurs to me that recently, a lot of my posts have been placeholders, to keep the internal count in WordPress going. That means that theContinue reading “1257 – Are these posts cheating?”

After commenting last night that I hadn’t done mono for a while and using one last night I thought we might as well have a bit of a run of them. I thought the lines in this one were quite interesting and I liked the clouds, so why not? Sorry that this one is goingContinue reading “1256 – The Bridge in Mono”

I have used the colour version of this picture before. I think because I haven’t been quite as prolific with my camera recently for some reason I haven’t thought about black & white imagery until this evening for quite some time. Then, as I say this evening I suddenly thought I haven’t made a b&WContinue reading “1255 – Black & White”

For no particular reason, I have scrolled back through this blog. I thought that I would write about post No. 627, the halfway point to today, but actually, if I were to write it today, I suspect only a few things would have changed – it rained then, and it’s raining today, the major differenceContinue reading “1254 – A quick look back”

It looks like this central line of tiles down the path points due west. I put the compass app on the phone on it and it gave 270 degrees. Behind me when I took the picture is the millennium sundial. At the time of. The morning I was there today, there were not a lotContinue reading “1253 – The Sundial & The Church”

I think it was the weekend before this one just gone we went into town, the first time in a few weeks I think. As usual, we went in different directions. I have to confess that apart from something interesting to photograph there isn’t that much to draw me to the town centre, unless IContinue reading “1252 – Books”

The Contentin makings its turn to the east to head towards its berth. This picture is absolutely nothing to do with the topic of today’s post. Chocolate plays a continuing part in my downfall. I find it very difficult to ignore the stuff. Today hasn’t helped things. I have four chocolate eggs and their contentsContinue reading “1251 – Chocolate”

This is another picture form yesterday’s walk. Going over the milenium bridge that covers the gap between Priddy’s Hard where the Explosion Museum sits and Weevil Lane next to Clarence Yard. Took this picture, and when I looked at on the big screen I thought “Elephant’s tusks”. These are the arms that support the bridgeContinue reading “1250 – The Durotriges & Beakers”
