The high street has a timeline built in to it down near the Halifax Bank (actually, I can’t remember which shop the time line is right next to – I will have to check that). The first line is 900 and something the first mention of Alverstoke and Rowner. I thought that the next entryContinue reading “1020 – Vlogging”

I think one of the sights this morning was a squirrel sat on the top of a telegraph pole. It must have had quite view from up there. I was very curious as to what was going on at the cross streets. The manhole covers are being put in place. Not much else going onContinue reading “1019 – early morning walk”

I’ve done a little bit of research into The Manor of Gosport, formed I. 1204 by the Bishop of Westminster. So my first thought was to check my understanding of what is a Manor? It’s not just a Manor House, the Manor of 1204 would encompass an area of land of a non-predetermined size andContinue reading “1018 – The Manor of Gosport”

The history of Gosport is a relative time line. What do I mean by that? The Manor of Gosport was created in the twelfth century by the then bishop of Winchester. Since the day of the creation, the town’s history has evolved. The points in the towns history that stand in my mind are; There’sContinue reading “1017 – Gosport”

Hotels are interesting places. They offer the same function, but each hotel is unique in its own way. This hotel is very nice. The food delicious, and the service superb. I’m afraid I had some connection issues, which meant that I wasn’t able to do my blog for two nights. Now I could have writtenContinue reading “1016 – Issues”

I’ve barely been out this week. All last week I struggled to walk in the morning, going out I had a very sharp pain just below my left knee, and then towards the end of the week my left thigh started giving me problems, it was agony to lift my leg to tie my shoes.Continue reading “1015 – This week”

The last couple of nights, I have been writing about connecting with the past, and trying to get a sense of what that means. Over the last few weeks. I have been playing with the artificial intelligence tool chatGPT. It is rather good. What I like about it rather than a search engine, is thatContinue reading “1014 – cheating?”

Last night I wrote about it feeling good that there were people who could stand at an historically spot and wonder what does even mean to connect with the past? I have to be honest, and say that obviously you can’t connect with the past. Especially as in this context I can’t define what connectContinue reading “1013 – connecting with the past”

The header picture doesn’t have anything to do with Neolithic times. But it is near Gosport’s Mott & Bailey. This is the site of the Apple Dumpling Bridge. I wrote a post a while ago about my interest in Neolithic sites and asking how to connect with people who built Stone Henge or Avebury, butContinue reading “1012 – connecting with the past”

The iPhone camera is perfectly adequate for vlogging. I’ve now recorded several videos on it. For the most part, I have everything I need to do vlogging. what I don’t have is the practice or the stories. Both of those are down to me. One problem I do have is the external microphone – mineContinue reading “1011 – Just Writing”
