Construction on Chichester Cathedral began in 1075, with the Norman’s moving Bishops into more populated areas. With this post I’ve learned that a “Bishopric” is an older term for what we would now call a Diocese, and that a “see” in the same context, is from the Latin “the seat” (of the Bishop). You learnContinue reading “Chichester Cathedral”

It’s with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father-in-law Tom. He was a wonderful man, I was honoured to know him. I write this post as I know a few personal friends read this, but also that, as you may expect, posts here may be a little interrupted, but they will continue.Continue reading “!”
Brighton Pier
While away I went to Brighton, and of course ended up on the pier! This is just a selection of photo’s of things that caught my eye whilst wandering! Chatter: For this series of posts I used the Canon EOS 30 with the Canon STM 40mm lens. I use this combo a lot! The filmContinue reading “Brighton Pier”
Chichester #2
Chichester has intact Roman walls, to the point where it’s possible to walk on the top of them. Perhaps not a complete as Chester, but still pretty good. The photo above shows the bit I walked on, further along a suitable gap has been left in to enable a view of St Pancreas Church, thisContinue reading “Chichester #2”
Chichester
Chichester is the only city in West Sussex, and has a population of about 30,000. I visited on a sunny day at the end of September. At it’s centre stands the Market Cross, from it radiate a cross of North, South, East and West Streets. I suspect these trace back to a Roman layout, althoughContinue reading “Chichester”
Film Scanning: No one solution!
99% of the images that I share are via this blog digitally. I have a Fuji X-T5 (lucky me!), which I use too little, so why shoot film, if I am essentially using digital images? Good question! The answer is simply, I like film. I like and prefer the experience of handling, shooting and developingContinue reading “Film Scanning: No one solution!”
Bognor Regis Seafront
There is a famous quote attributed to George V about Bognor, despite this I had a four night break there at the end of September. The weather was stunning, blue sky, sunshine but thankfully without that intense heat, perfect weather for wandering about looking at stuff and making photo’s. My hotel room was at oneContinue reading “Bognor Regis Seafront”
St. Mary’s, Portchester
Portchester Castle, from the previous post, sits within the old walls of the Roman fort, so too does St. Mary’s church. The church can be dated back to 1128 as an Augustinian priory, while the keep of the castle was build around 1130, so basically built at the same time! The photo above is fromContinue reading “St. Mary’s, Portchester”
Portchester Castle
At the start of last week I had a weeks vacation from work, from the Monday I took a 4 night, 5 day break along the coast. I returned home on Friday with very sore eyes, but as it was a bright day and I’d been doing quite a bit of driving, thought no moreContinue reading “Portchester Castle”
Single Photo: Comfort
I haven’t made a “single photo” post for a while, so I thought I’d do one for all the wrong reasons! I should explain I have either a really, really bad cold or Flu. I feel completely worn out, and have one of those coughs that sounds like a man who’s been smoking for 50Continue reading “Single Photo: Comfort”
