U02A03 - Storytelling: A Walk in the Countryside
This is near my house, which for someone who spent 40 years in East London, still is amazing I’ve got this walking distance from my house, more used to stolen mopeds than horses lol.
I tried to do this just before work, which meant I only had 45 minutes, though I realise it isn’t an excuse and will try to plan my photo exercises better and have more time to think about what I’m doing.
I don’t think I done the place justice or captured the storytelling, it just seems like some random snaps, but it’s made me think and I’ll try to do better as it does on, having young children and going on days out, this is one area I’d love to improve on tbh.
I would’ve liked to get closer to the horses, but was a bit scared, if they went crazy, I don’t reckon I could beat them to the fence lol
I’ve straightened and cropped the photos, but no editing.
One thing I need to work on is over clicking, I take far many pictures of the same exact thing and it’s becomes a chore to cull/edit.
This is the walk-in that's next to the front door of my loft. I put in a new Expedit unit to manage the mess and create a better landing strip.
Walk in the Green Valley.
The Green Valley is an oasis of peace in the triangle between Brussels, Leuven and Mechelen.
We wanted to walk in the rain in the marsh, on the Edgewood College boardwalk, but the rain stopped just as we got there with our umbrellas. We walked anyhow. It was beautiful. Everything glistened, and the sky with its towering storm clouds spread out above us and also at our feet.

Boxing Day (Official)
So,
Bank Holiday.
Like we need one.
And with it being fine, and even some sun forecast, I said, foolishly the night before, that we should go for a walk.
So it was after getting up at half seven, downing the first coffee of the day then getting dressed like Nanook of the North, in many layers, we climbed into the car, with just two cameras, for the short drive to Deal.
The roads were empty, as were the parking spaces along the road through Walmer, so in order for me not to get any more angry with the Sunday driver in front of me cruising at 19mph, we pull and start our walk from St. Saviour's, walk to the promenade and turn north towards the pier.
Although, I was tempted onto the shingle beach so I could snap the fishing fleet, high up on the beach, all at rest.
So, I snap the boats, the fishermen's gear and the machinery used to drag the boats high up onto the beach.
And there was the everchanging cloudscapes as the sun rose in the southeast, then hid behind clouds for half an hour.
We walked no further than the time tower, currently covered in scaffolding as it is repaired, and as we turned, the sun came out and things looked far brighter, doubly so as the clouds cleared too and in a few minutes the sun was shining from a clear blue sky, just as the BBC had promised.
Sorry I ever doubted you.
Back past the castle, the bandstand to the lifeboat stattion, which were both locked up, and back to the car.
Once back home I cook bacon butties, a prelude to the salt beef sandwiches smothered in horseradish which we eat at lunctime.
And then, the afternoon; now, a few weeks ago I suggested in a moment of foolishness that members of the orchid group on Facebook might like to hear my presentation. I thought that maybe one or two would, so I could get out of it. But more than 30 said they would be interested, so I set up a "Live" event, and the 28th was to be the day I was to give it. Which meant that the afternoon was spent going over the presentation, changing some of the text and adding some new slides due to a couple of spikes seen in the 2020 season.
I also finished the 2020 orchid season blogs, the forth and final one posted mid-afternoon. So I could concentrate on the Premier League football, though only via the BBC website.
At five I did a test of the Facebook Live platofrm, all seemed to work, and a video of the recording is made and saved to the site.
I cook chorizo hash, which we make vanish, as well as two man-sized glasses of red wine, so I was all ready to go at seven with the presentation.
And, we're live!
Eeek.
I talk for an hour and twenty minutes or so, and many said it was good, so, who knows? Anyway, by the end my voice was giving out, so I soothe my vocal chords with a glass of red wine,a nd send a second down to keep the first one company.
And that was it. Bank Holiday done.

MOUNT Gambier’s abandoned and vandalised old hospital site.
I was passing with a coworker and took a few snaps. The Hospital has just sold and the new owner is cleaning up.
The scap metal merchants invited us in for a closer look. We got rock star access to the entire site.
The 4.9ha property has been closed to the general public for about 13 years.
The ugly and derelict old Mount Gambier Hospital occupies a prime location with views in both directions
The empty shell of the hospital and the surrounding land was originally on-sold to Sky Towers Mount Gambier P/L . They've done little to the site in recent years, despite calls for the building to be demolished or redeveloped. Now it has a new owner.
The plan originally included demolition of part of the old hospital, and turning the remains of the building into luxury apartments. In a controversial move, they also hoped to build a six storey retirement village on the site and subdivide some of the land for a future housing blocks.
The old hospital had been private property since 1998
It is a magnet for vandalism, drug making, squatters and potential death. The Lake Terrace address was opened around 1969/1970 and closed about 1997.
Walking about the grounds, you find doors that open onto overgrowth, the paths are gone and literally you can't use the door.
We found Steam-driven sterilizer's (Smith and Co Steam driven sterilizer - made in Bromptom) - h.l. smith & co pty ltd
We also found Johns Perry Lifts. (This was a company that started out as Johns & Waygood, became Johns Perry, was purchased by Boral and then sold to Otis who shut it down to remove their major local competitor).
We also saw the remains of lift shafts, piping, dumb waiters and much more.
The building is still solid (Although the gaping holes to the floors many meters below are unsafe) and there has been calls for ghost tours.
One can only imagine the births, deaths, pain and joy the walls has seen.
On the lower ground floor you can still walk the maintenance tunnels following the huge pipes that feed the building.
You can climb to the very top of the structure and overlook Mt Gambier.
The floor stairwells are heavily graffitied. You can walk the doctors car pack, the ambulance bay and even look at the big furnace.
There might not be much to look at soon.
Whilst we had "Rock star" access, we had permission to be onsite that we could not abuse. I can't recommend you jump the fence for a look. The site is very dangerous and we did this on our own back without insurance.

Mount Gambier council buys old hospital

THE Mount Gambier City Council is now the proud owner of the dilapidated old hospital and wants the community to decide on the future of the site.
Mayor Steve Perryman yesterday confirmed that council clinched a $1.4m deal on Monday to secure the property, which was sold by receivers after former owners Boots and Partners experienced challenges with the site.
Mr Perryman said the Local Government body was "relieved" at finalising the purchase.
"All of council is relieved and excited - it hasn't been an easy path," he said.
"It has been a cause of frustration for council over many years - senior staff and council members have borne the brunt of community criticism over the site even though we haven't owned it."
Mr Perryman would not be drawn into commenting on any plans for the site, saying the future of the building was in the community's hands following a period of consultation.
"I want to make it very clear that council has no view at this point in time on what the future of the site will be," Mr Perryman said.
"From here we will work to seek the views of the community on the options of the site - it's fair to say there is a fair amount of research, investigation and discussion to be had on the options."
A decision on the site's future is expected to be reached in the first half of next year.
"I know a number of individual members of council are saying they've got an open mind and they really don't know," Mr Perryman said.
The abandoned site has been an ongoing saga for 13 years after the State Government sold the complex to private hands.
Mr Perryman assured the million dollar purchase would not lead to a rise in council rates.
"It's within councils finances to make the purchase and that's why it's important we have a thorough investigation in terms of the options that are available," he said, adding the deal was done without state or federal government assistance.
Other council projects such as the redevelopment of the rail land would be unaffected by the sale, Mr Perryman said.
