Hi Steve, I was really looking forward to reading Gilbert White’s Letter V, but when I started to read it, I have to confess I had some difficulty understanding the language he was using. For example he talked towards the beginning about hollow lanes. It took me a little while that he was talking aboutContinue reading “1942 – Letter to Steve V”

1937 – Camera Club, U3A, No FB.
I got out of the house later than I intended this morning. Catching the bus down to the interchange. I paused at the waterfront I almost missed the Guillaum De Normandie completely, but was just able to see it go around the corner at the top of the channel. I had a quick chat withContinue reading “1937 – Camera Club, U3A, No FB.”
1935 – Letter to Steve IV (Gilbert’s IV)
Hi Steve, The header photo really is a Grabshot, taken from the car as we went past. I’ve been looking forward to writing the letter this week. After I read Gilbert’s Letter IV, in which he talked about a local industry that focused on a local stone that is worked in the Selborne area. IContinue reading “1935 – Letter to Steve IV (Gilbert’s IV)”
1931 – I’m having a bit of a problem
I haven’t done any vlogging for a while, which I think is a pity, and not a situation that I want to be in. Part of the problem is that can’t think of topics on which to vlog. I have to admit, that I was a bit stuck on what my blog entry might beContinue reading “1931 – I’m having a bit of a problem”
1921 – The Gilbert White Letter II.
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.”
1916 – A Lovely day.
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. Went back to Scrivens, who had supplied them to me, and one of their staff, a young man, immediately andContinue reading “1916 – A Lovely day.”
1915 – U3A Monday, Feb Week 4
Monday of the 4th week of the month is a busy day for me, from a University of the 3rd Age (U3A) point of view. I have two sessions one in the morning, Stargazing.

1908 – Gilbert, Geese and other things
I’m supposed to be reading the Gilbert White letters. I’m starting at the beginning, with letter 1, rather than working on the dates of the letters. Apparently, he was a bit more subtle than that, as I thought I should. So, I have the delight of reading this Afternoon. I am disappointed that I didn’tContinue reading “1908 – Gilbert, Geese and other things”
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?”
1899 – A Routine
I haven’t looked back through my blogs since I retired, but I am sure that I will have written about this since then. That is a routine, or lack of one. I am increasingly finding myself frustrated by not having a routine. See the number at the top of this post – 1899? Over 5Continue reading “1899 – A Routine”
