I’ve repeated the use of last nights bad picture quite deliberately. In my post 1911 Making Smoke, I wrote a letter to my friend Steve on the lines of Gilbert Whites Letter No. II from his book, The Natural History of Selborne. Today’s post continues what I hope will be a trend of letters; HiContinue reading “1921 – The Gilbert White Letter II.”

We had a bit of admin to deal with first thing, Once that was sout of the way I was able to head into town. Unfortunately, I was having a problem with my hearing aids.

1897 – Photography
I have been giving my photography and approach to the subject some serious thought of late. There is (in my eyes) a slight technical problem – I know a poor worker will blame his tools, and I’m not blaming the tool, I’m blaming my ability to use them correctly. The issue I have with myContinue reading “1897 – Photography”

1885 – A morning out
There are times that I need to stop thinking. of Saturday and Sunday as the end of the week, in some respects what day of the week it is becomes irrelevant. Why is that an issue?

1660 – I visit Waterstones in Portsmouth
Elayne said she likes this picture because it has the four tower blocks and The Trinity Church Tower. I hadn’t really planned anything particular for the day other than I wanted to walk in to town.
