              At least she irons things.  Before we started dating, the only reason my wife owned an iron was to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

                  I think the T looks cool… and if one thing I learned from hanging out around these forums is not having clothes that always look brand new is a good thing....

                    Dear Madame B.

                    I hope you remember us talking about ironing and what not to iron.

                    It obviously slipped my mind that you would be bonkers enough to even consider ruining a perfectly fine T shirt.

                    Please skype me next time, you need to have some input in that field of chores.

                                Gosport

                                Gosport is a military town.  Effectively it grew up to support the Naval town of Portsmouth which is about ½ a mile away across the water. So we have a lot of interesting military architecture in the town.

                                These form one side of a square called Cooperage Green, they were built in the early 18th century to make all the barrels that the Navy in Portsmouth needed for meat, beer, water, gunpowder etc

                                Just about everywhere you walk in Gosport you will see these or very similar, railings put up in the mid 18th Centrury to keep people out of the military installations

                                This is the railway line that Queen Victoria had built between the Gosport railway station and her own private station on the sea front.  It was from here that she caught the Royal Yacht to take he over to her house (Osbourne House) on the Isle of Wight.  Towards the back of the photo, you may just be able to make out a tunnel, she was given permission to put a tunnel through the town walls which came in rather handy later on.  She died on the Isle of Wight and when they bought her body back, it spent the night in this tunnel as it was easily defended at both ends.

                                One of the many gates into the military yards

                                This was the HQ of the Royal Engineers, whose job was to build and defend the towns walls from attack

                                And this is where the Officers lived.  Creatively called “The Officer’s Quarters”

                                We have all the dangerous stuff over our side of the harbour.  This is on the basis that if it explodes, it does not take the Navy out with it.  These tanks are full of aviation fuel for our aircraft carriers.  The fuel lines now go down to the sea front under Queen Vics railway, from there, small tankers take the fuel over to Portsmouth where it is transferred onto the warships

                                One of the literally 100’s of pubs that Gosport used to have, this like dozens of others is now shut down and falling into disrepair

                                This is “The Pump House”, underneath the building is a well that was sunk in the late 18th century to supply the Naval brewery with water to make the beer.  We have the other well in our garden.  I’ll take pics of that at some other point

                                            thought naval/shipyard areas usually have lots of machinist type work going on in surrounding areas.
