I saw this boat on Tuesday, it really was kicking out a lot of smoke. I wrote on Tuesday about the Gilbert White letters, and have now read his Letter No. I, addressed to Thomas Pennant doesn’t have a date. So I googled to find that the letter was never posted and indeed was writtenContinue reading “1911 – Making Smoke”

1906 – What to do?
It’s a general question; What to do? I guess this is a bit of a look forward to next week. But before I do that, I just briefly want to talk about last night’s post, which was a rather incoherent way on my part, of saying that I want to do more street photography, thatContinue reading “1906 – What to do?”
1904 – A Gosport Shed Day Out
Today was my first trip out with the Gosport Shed. The Expeditions Manager, who does a grand job, had organised a trip to the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm Museum, which is located at the Royal Navy Air Station (RNAS) Yeovilton. I have to admit, this is a place I have wanted to visit forContinue reading “1904 – A Gosport Shed Day Out”
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”
1894 Today, should have been then.
Today turned out to be what i had really hoped and expected a routine Monday to look and feel like. A had to go and pick up a prescription, but then walked up to The Shed.

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? Well, it isn’t really. I just don’t need to stress about Mondays. Elayne went to London today, meeting upContinue reading “1885 – A morning out”
1877 – A Trip Out
I had a bit of a trip out today, It started really with breakfast in the local travellodge, which was very nice.

Now, I don’t normally take pictures of NavyContinue reading “1877 – A Trip Out”
1847 – A circular walk
This was a circular walk with a purpose. The first of which was to pay a visit to the Gosport Shed. I want to join The Shed, but if I am honest, I’m not sure what I am going to be doing here. They have a wide range of activities from woodworking through to theirContinue reading “1847 – A circular walk”
1840 – It’s that day
I’ll tell you about the photograph towards the bottom of this post. Today, was one of those signpost days that most people experience – I retired. I went to work this morning, but it really wasn’t a normal day. I had a chat with my boss, and wished him goodbye. I had already had similarContinue reading “1840 – It’s that day”
1837 – Christmas Trees & Town
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”
