When my eyesight was still good, I was a bit of an amateur photographer. This is one of mine.
I thought I’d go industrial today, this is Fawley Power Station, across the water from Southampton. It is closed now but I just loved the way the sun was shining on it in this photo.
In 1964 Mum and Dad took us on a last holiday in England before we emigrated to Australia. We stayed in a wooden house in Calshot and heard loud pile drivers all the time – I surmise this was Fawley being built and now it’s going to be knocked down – I feel as old as the Queen who has opened buildings and lived to see them demolished!

Ah, Calshot… I did all my track cycling there – the old hangars have been converted into an outdoor centre, including a velodrome. Fascinating history with all the flying boats.

Yes, in recent years we’ve been there – for coffee not cycling and to watch ocean liners going out to sea. I often wonder what if flying boats had taken off instead of land planes.
