  1. One of the men at the door thought I was taking pictures of them, but I explained it was just the pub I wanted being the celebration it was!

    So close!

    The Raynes Park Vale Goalkeeper makes a crucial save in the Isthmian League fixture against Farnham Town! Farnham went on to win 2-1 to cement their top of the table position. This is quite a low level of football (several levels below the English Premier League) but just under 1000 people watched the game. In context crowds at this level are usually about 100!

  3. An English pub well known to both the author of this post and the owner of this website! Situated about 1.5 x miles from Bordon in Hampshire in Hollywater, the author has been coming here for over 42 x years. After a long period of closure between 2021 and 2023 it re-opened in November 2023 and this is an outside view on the first anniversary party in November 2024!

    Goalmouth Action!

    There is far more to football than the English Premier League or German Bundesliga etc. This is goalmouth action from the Portsmouth Senior Cup match between Petersfield Town and United Services Portsmouth. The game is played with as much (if not more) passion than any higher level and represents what many believe is the REAL game. The match finished 0-0, but Petersfield won 5-3 on Penalties, this being a “knockout” cup match.

  5. Great shot. It’s a shame the high rise disturbs the view, but the Sunset over Manila Bay really does need to be experienced!
  6. Taken in Hampshire, Southern England on a Sunny Autumn morning, the sky is busy with flights heading West and East. Many of the vapour trails are Transatlantic flights but also many are heading to/from Spain according to “Flightradar.”

    Farnham make the score 2-1 with a Penalty against Horndean. The game, however, finished 2-2.

    Farnham Town v Horndean.

    Action from the Isthmian League (one of the lower leagues in English football) match between Farnham Town and Horndean which finished 2-2. The club had just come off the back of a record breaking 58 game run unbeaten in the League!

  9. Class 484 004 approaches Yarbridge (about 1/4 mile South of Brading) on its way to Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.

  10. Class 484 004 has departed Brading on the Isle of Wight’s Island Line on its way to Shanklin. The double track reduces down to a single track. This picture was taken from the Barnes Crossing where a public footpath crosses the railway, in case anyone thinks I was trespassing! 😄

  11. Most cities in England have a Cathedral, but it is an often a mistaken belief that a city must have one to qualify as a city. It does not, and is actually dependent on whether a “Royal Charter” has been granted. Portsmouth is unusual insofar as it has 2 x Cathedrals; a Roman Catholic and and Anglican one. This is the Anglican one in area of the city known as “Old Portsmouth” and is seen here from Camber Dock after the storm clouds have passed over.

  12. Sad to say, the dog who was a regular, passed away a short time ago. There is a picture tribute attached to the fence now at that location as a tribute. 😔
  13. When I went there I thought it was like Brighton, but on a tropical beach! Didn’t like it at first, but after 24 x hours, I thought it was brilliant!
  14. This is the classic Boracay view. Love it!
  15. Camber Dock is in Portsmouth a city on the South Coast of England. It is an important military and commercial port, and the home of the UK’s Royal Navy. In this shot from Camber Dock, the landmark Spinnaker Tower, Ben Ainslie Sailing Centre, Gunwharf Ferry Terminal and the wonderful Bridge Tavern can be seen against the backdrop of the passing storm clouds. High tide is also approaching as can be seen by the water levels in the Dock.

    Goal in the FA Cup!

    Bath City appeal in vain for a “Handball” offence in their 2-1 defeat to Aldershot Town in the FA Cup at Aldershot. This was Aldershot’s first goal of the afternoon and the tie was won in the 8th minute of stoppage time with Aldershot’s second goal. The FA Cup is the oldest “Knockout” football competition in the world having been founded in the 19th Century. This is also the first time Aldershot have met Bath City in a “Senior” game and the first time an Aldershot side have met a Bath City side in any competition since 1939!

  17. Not sure why a ship that travels between Portsmouth and the Channel Island has a Nassau registration…..😉
  18. Than you. This area has some great views. It is on the South Coast of England!
  19. Another view of the storm clouds across the Solent showing some of the shipping activity to and from the Isle of Wight.
