someone who's doing some things
Places I’ve visited that are of a particular interest to me, or that I think will be of general interest.
One of the attractions of Vancouver is the Gastown clock. It’s a gas clock that pipes out the time on the half and full hour. It’s quite the tourist trap. It makes a nice sound too. I took a couple of audio recordings of it and I’ll upload them in the next few days.
I was in Vancouver for a week last week and visited the art gallery. They didn’t have much on as they were between exhibits apparently. However, this was on and was interesting in some ways.
I didn’t even know about this lock, but stumbled on to it after visiting Wisley for the day. It was a very nice little lock and right near a pub too. I think when I’ve got a bit more time I might go back.
It was such a lovely day for this craft fair at Wisley, but there was almost too much choice there. Lots of interesting stuff, some not so interesting too. But a good day out nevertheless.
I’ve never been to the V&A’s Museum of Childhood before, but decided to drop in and take a look as I was passing the other day. They had an exhibition of the Clangers and also Bagpus, which was brilliant. I love the Clangers and always have done.
It was only a little exhibition, but it was lovely to see and I’m sure to go back to this museum soon.
I go through Deptford Station quite a lot, but it was only the other day that I noticed that the station sign was the old fashioned British Rail type, which I quite like. I hope that they keep it.
I was really pleased with this photo. It was a cold and windy day and just after a big storm, but even so it was a nice walk on the beach.
Only a few days in Lyme Regis, but you can see that they’re really serious about it being the Jurassic Coast.
I posted this photo on Instagram the other day, but I was really pleased with it. So here it is again. In case you’re interested it was taken just outside the BFI on the south bank.
