I walk about & stumble upon stuff I think's interesting, you may too. Often the weird or wonderful in the New Forest, and WW2 history.
Paul is a brilliant speaker and author, someone I’ve had the pleasure of keeping company with on occasion. His new book will be fantastic.
It's sad to hear about Ozzy Osbourne. I only ever saw him once which was at the Milton Keynes Bowl in June 1998 at his self-titled festival - The Ozzfest. Check the line-up out. Was a hot summer's day into evening and an absolute blast. Remember it so well. It was very heavy.
Does anyone know much about ball and chains. E.g. how old this could be, does it look authentic? I was shown it on Sat morning. As you expect, it is very heavy, and if attached to your ankle, you're going nowhere fast. Discovered in the basement of local pub built in the 1880s
The control tower / watch office at the former RAF Ibsley today. As many will know, it's the subject of a possible renovation to save it. There are more planning meetings with relevant parties this month, so hopefully, it will bring positive news by the end of the summer.
