Today, there was a display held in St Mary’s Church in Alverstoke, of Christmas trees that had been put together by various parts of the community. There more than 70 trees on show from groups as varied as infant schools and estate agents. It was quite a delight wandering around the church, admiring all theContinue reading “1837 – Christmas Trees & Town”

1602 – Camera Club
Tonight was a Bar night, which is always good because it gives us a chance to get to have a chat with people and get to know them a bit better. These bar nights happen every other week at the moment, although it looks like that will be changing in the next season. We willContinue reading “1602 – Camera Club”
1271 – Chichester
Today we had a bit of a trip out to Chichester. We like going there. I can see a similairty in some respects in the atmosphere, if not the layout of the town and Dorchester. Quite a few small shops, usually something going on in the town centre and a fair bit of History. Chichester’sContinue reading “1271 – Chichester”
307/366 Which Napoleon?
In 305, I wrote about my trip out to the Alver Valley. I had every intention of going on to Fort Gilkicker, but didn’t get there because I decided my feet had had enough for the day (they had served me well). Whilst I was walking away from the Motte & Bailey, I asked SiriContinue reading “307/366 Which Napoleon?”
136/366 The Comfort Zone

The idea was to record my thoughts and impressions of my time in the city. I stillContinue reading “136/366 The Comfort Zone”
119/366 Windows & Trains
This window is part of the way along the Gosport High Street. When I go out tomorrow, I’ll have to make a note as to which building it is a part of. That’s only partially important. For me, it’s thinking about who has sat in that window since the building was built. The window looksContinue reading “119/366 Windows & Trains”
117/366 Beamister Lane
OK, so apart from the Vision Express shop, and the electric lighting (could it be gas?) I wonder how close this street is to the way it looked in the 1800’s? I have mentioned Beamister Lane in previous posts. As a man, in the 1800’s walking down this lane was to put your way ofContinue reading “117/366 Beamister Lane”
