That's great to hear, John. I don't live in Southsea any more (was down with my Mum), so only make occasional visits, but it's a lovely shop :-)

…I’m exploring these boundaries because I wanted to see how they might map onto my own local geography in the following sense. Portsmouth and Southsea sea front has a promenade which by my calculations is 5,240 metres long from Eastney Baths to the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Google Street Views of Eastney Baths at the east end of Portsmouth’s promenade, and the Flanking Battery at the western end, as part of the Hot Walls.

Fun and probably unrecorded fact: in a hyperlocal* accent, Selsey and Southsea are pronounced the same way (which is v confusing)

The caravan is very comfortable but a little overcrowded.

For #MeerMittwoch #Photography #SeaWednesday #OceanWednesday #Hovercraft [Original post on mstdn.social]

It's a bright, sunny day with a sky of pale blue dotted with puffy white clouds edged with a dark grey. We're standing near the tide line of a warm-toned, pebbled beach where it meets a choppy sea of deep turquoise. A roll of a small breaker is just foaming right where the water and land meet. Across the stretch of water there is a low line of dark land stretching across the full width of the horizon dotted with obvious signs of towns and isolated buildings along its coast. Between us and the far land mass there are numerous vessels on the water but two are prominent. Slightly further away there is a passenger car ferry, mostly white, turned three quarters away from us so that it appears squat and higher than looks safe. Between the ferry and us a hovercraft is leaving the beach, travelling from left to right but now turning leftwards to angle in the same direction as the larger ship, with a white wake rippled on the water and huge clouds of spray kicked up partly hiding one of the hovercraft's fans.

Heard some of the session yesterday, excellent, will playback. I met you at a signing session at Pie and Vinyl Southsea. I now have a signed copy of The Race For Space ❤️ 🚀 Any signings planned for the new album?

📮 For World Postcard Day, here’s a postcard Harold sent from 98 Avenue Road in Itchen (now Radstock Road) in 1905. ‘Dear Auntie, I went to Southsea by boat on Saturday, and the boat broke down, so I arrived home at 4AM next morning. But I rather enjoyed it.’

Not sure why I did this cos I had a fair idea of what I was going to get, but I had a chat with the local LibDems stand in Southsea town centre. I put it to them that the polycrisis is a cultural problem *before* it is a power-generation obsessed technocratic problem (which is effectively […]
