News

A real castle and a couple that aren't to start this month off:

• First the real one Caerphilly Castle in South Wales.
• Secondly Cowdray Castle and the nearby St Ann's Castle both of which are pushing the definition.

Two short articles this month:

• The Inogon Leading Mark near Hamble-le-Rice, Hampshire and
• St Nicholas' Church, West Itchenor in West Sussex.

Also some photos from last year's Isle of Wight Classic Busses, Beer & Walks Festival.

Sorry. Got tied up in sorting out the last of the negatives, so nothing new this month.

New this month, an article on Farnham Castle in Surrey.

In light of GDPR, I should perhaps point out that the irregular newsletters I used to send out have been defunct for some time now. The mailing list and all related data has been deleted.

And I'm back.

Apologies for the lack of up dates recently. I've been head down in the scans of my old negatives and turning them into photo-books.

Now I've time to finish going through what's left from last year, and to get out and take some more photos.

First up this month, the Rural Life Centre near Farnham in Surrey.

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.
