‘…Tomorrow the mountains will separate us; After tomorrow – who can say?’

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step…

Some things in life are a long haul, but it’s best to keep a smile on your face…;)

Finally, thanks to everyone who has visited this site in the past year, liked or commented on a post, and with special thanks to secret squirrel, wightvixen, andelieya, and Chris, who have accompanied me on this journey, for all, or part, of the way…a prosperous and Happy New Year to you all 🙂 xxxx

Post number 333 – Fratton station around daybreak…and Portsmouth Guildhall swaying in the wind ;)
