In the Pink

A very pink day out with my cycle group. I ain't young myself but I am the only one still in full time employment.

Ferry Boat

The Ferry Boat is an inn situated on the Western most point of Hayling Island - where the ferry crosses the Langstone Harbour entrance to Eastney (Portsmouth and Southsea). Late one Saturday afternoon (just after the clocks got their Spring move forward), I suggested to Mr B that we pack up whatever it was we had been doing that day and go somewhere 'for a beer'. We don't have 'a local' and tend to spread our patronage around a bit. The last time we went to the Ferry Boat was years ago and I was put off by the poor quality of the meals (micro-waved TV dinners essentially - no one goes out to eat those), so we haven't been there for years. Candidates for a late afternoon social drink at this time of year must, in my view, have a good view of a sunset. That cuts it down to the Red Lion at Chalton (perfect sunset over the Downs), The Ship at Langstone (sunset over Langstone Harbour), or - now that I came to think about it - The Ferry Boat (with a sunset over S

Out of the Freezer

It has started to become glaringly obvious to me that the contents of the large freezer in our garage might be in excess of our nutritional requirements over the next 4 or 5 months. Time, therefore, to get serious about basing all meals on something that has been stashed in the freezer. The small truckload of greens for instance (nettles and spinach from last spring and summer) that was being added gradually to polenta and orzotto/rizotto, has come under scrutiny and hortopita has been order of the day twice in recent weeks. I can't get 'village' phyllo here in UK so took a leaf out of the book of Angela and used the pastry available (in our case flakey pastry) - not the same texture at all but works ok as a pie. The muffins in this case might have been rhubarb and something. That's another stock of something for which the new season, fresh kind is nearly ready. Rhubarb, in the minds of most consumers of the stuff, needs sugar. With Mr B being diabetic now I have t

Still Daily Sketching

Although these examples come from January and February (and I was rather pleased with Tower Bridge because I managed to do that on a blustery, wet day and realized only afterwards that I wasn't wearing my glasses. I am long sighted and have no trouble seeing the bridge, it was the page at the end of my arm that would normally be completely out of focus. Amazing what can be achieved....if you aren't thinking about your limitations) To date I have managed about 6 drawings that I 'quite like', but my all time favorite is a Grenadian fire hydrant 🤔. Really? I did see this piece of advice somewhere recently and I thought I might (re) blog it: Seek not to create beauty but to see beauty in what you create. This is not my composition or initiative. I was simply looking for a tutorial on how to draw something with folds in it and came upon this website - clicked randomly on #132. I like his take on which story you choose to hear.

Comes Round Again

Last year I photographed (and probably posted) photos of the pink flowering cherry trees that brighten my morning walk to the railway station. There is something about trees swathed in little pink tutus that just makes me want to capture them every year. London, at the other end of the train journey is also starting to break out in cherry blossom. This time last year I was running a series of postcards from London for Mr T who was having to get used to the fact that I was away from home a lot more than he had been accustomed to in Greece (and he was no longer going to the office with me). Here, therefore, are a few more spring postcards from London. They no longer build hospitals like they did in 1816, less decorative, less of a statement about the philanthropy of the benevolent (and potentially immeasurably wealthy) benefactor of the piece of prime real estate. This is across the road (onto the south end of Waterloo Bridge) more or less, from the main entrance to Waterloo station
