Nothing new this month I'm afraid. Busy with Christmas and sorting through a whole lot of old negatives I've just had scanned.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

So far this month I've finished writting up the places in Ceredigion, Wales I visited earlier this year:

• Strata Florida Abbey,
• A great collection of diesel engines, Internal Fire Museum of Power,
• The pretty village of Aberaeron and
• A gazetteer entry for the New Quay Toll Boards.

Only one new article this month, but it's a long one on the National Trust's Llanerchaeron estate in Ceredigion, Wales.

Four short gazetteer entries to kick this month off:

• The rotting hulk of the PS Ryde on the Isle of Wight,
• The Greyladyes Masoleum in Bursledon, Hampshire.
• Llandovery Castle in Cardiganshire and
• The Rydym ni yma o hyd Sculptures in deepest Ceredigion.

Followed by three places in Ceridigion, Wales:

• Aberystwyth its Castle and Cliff Railway,
• Devil's Bridge and its waterfalls, and connecting the two
• The Vale of Rheildol Railway.

New this month:

• Stansted Park on the borders of West Sussex and Hampshire,
• Boxgrove Priory also in Sussex and
• Dolaucothi Gold Mines in Carmarthenshire, West Wales.

New this month: the Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum.

Together with three places in the Petworth area of Sussex:

• The interesting Coultershaw Heritage Site and Beam Pump,
• Burton Mill which is being restored and
• The tiny curch of St Mary the Virgin, Upwaltham,

And two in South Wales:

• The Brecon Mountain Railway and
• Some photos of Cardiff Bay.

New for this month Petworth House in Sussex.

Also two short items on the nearby Cocking History Column and the Duncton Viewpoint.

Just two places this month both in Sussex:

• An article and lots of photos of West Dean Gardens and
• A gallery of photos taken around West Itchenor.

Only one article this month, Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire as sorting through the old negatives is taking a lot of my time.

Only two short articles this month, as I have started on the long process of getting all my negatives scanned. They are on:

• St Johns Church, Farley Chamberlayne and the nearby
• Farley Mount obelisk.

Just two new pages this month: a snowy walk around Butser Hill in Hampshire.

And, at long last, the Hospital of St Cross in Winchester, which I visited back in November.

Happy New Year everyone.

New this month (and year, for that matter) are the final two pages (for now anyway) in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard section:

• The Mary Rose and
• Boathouse 4.

There are also some shots from the Portsmouth Boat Trip around the naval dockyard and the ferry fort that I took last summer.
