      Cool Friday brunch or after work pint then? I teach in the morning and afternoon. Although it would be great to see you Giles and Paula too, but I’ll make the trip to Gosport sometime soon for that. Hope you’re all well looking forward to another IH meet-up

        Portsmouth will be new to Dennis and as an ex-navy man he may be interested in the place. So a a day trip would be good, meaning we can do either or both!

                Hattie kept hollering “French fries!” At the waitress at this excellent sushi and ramen joint.

                Think it, be it.

                      Fort Brockhurst is one of 5 similar forts strung across the Gosport peninsular, built as a defensive measure against The French attacking Portsmouth overland from the north.

                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Brockhurst

                      It was open to the public today (there was a Christmas tat market within it), and I have been desperate to get inside ever since we have lived here, so we went.

                      I was truly overcome by the beauty and enormity of it, especially when you consider that all of Palmerstons other folly's were being built at or around the same time. John Maynard Keynes would have been uber-proud…..

                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_Theory_of_Employment,_Interest_and_Money

                      Just in case you were wondering at what elevation the fort is...

                      Big gun casement…

                      "Small" gun, mount and track…

                      The stables and officers quarters, plus large gun…

                      I'm really not sure what they are actually trying to tell me….

                      The large eyes that the chains retarding the recoil from the big guns are affixed to, are mounted in granite…

                      Small eye mounted in sandstone under the notice, so I guess this was subject to lesser force…

                      A nice bit of granite work…

                      Small gun, not where it should be….

                      What I would do to have this lead tank in our garden….

                      Casement showing damage from a wayward WW2 German bomb, the target would have been the dockyard, not a redundant 19th century fort….

                      Not been used in a while….

                        @mclaincausey We were lucky with our two (kind of) as the one loved edamame and the other one wanted fries.  They both liked rice so that was always a good choice.

                          Love the visual tour G!  As for me, thankfully we’re not in Buffalo, NY., but it’s going to be a long 24 hours:

                          At swimming lessons for the kids and this is the view from the front doors…

                          It took me 1.5 hours to shovel our driveway and plow our laneway yesterday (about a km in length).  If we do get the 60-80 cm’s, I’ll have to do that a few times during the storm.

                          Guess I can just get my workout in nature’s gym.

                              Used to be that I’d grab WAYWT pics in this weird november light at a playground. Now it’s in the training pitch while doing shooting practice with Alfie (6). Bodø/Glimt’s «stadium», Aspmyra, in the background.

                                @Giles great pics. The sound of that canon going off under cover would be deafening. I hope it was a light fuse and run away?

                                    Next year the fort will be open every second Saturday of the month, starting in April (guess where I will be on 8th April 2023)  so those of you who are into this type of shit, book early to avoid disappointment…......
