Midsummer morning in Wood Road This year I am going to try and take a photo on all the days that end in 1. As well as this I shall say how many photos the site (and I) have bagged in 2023. For example, early on January 2nd I used the advanced search facility to discover that so far the site has 200 images for 2023 and I have 5. This I shall record from now on in the picture description.

Outside the Fox and Pelican This is now a Fullers pub, having been Gales before Fullers bought that brewery.  It is named after Bishop Fox of Winchester, who owned this land, and whose heraldic symbol was the pelican.  A pelican pecks its breast drawing blood, representing the blood of Christ.

Wakeners' Wells The middle of the three ponds on a cold day.  Although it was sunny the sun was struggling to make an impact here.
