Calm Center (Three) – We visited a place laden with memories for me and recreated a picture from ten years ago. 1

Langstone Mill – Besides being picturesque, Langstone Mill is interesting because it is the site of two mills. Besides the obvious windmill, there was also a tidal mill. Plus a bonus reminisce, and a picture from the seventies. 1 3

The Royal Oak & Langstone Mill – We weren’t quite sure what time we were supposed to be arriving for dinner with my brother and his family, so we decided to have a short walk followed by a quick preprandial drink in the Royal Oak.

Calm Centre (365: 135) – Many years ago I visited this spot at a time when I needed to make an important decision. At that time, I also needed a place and memory to act as a calm reference point to carry with me and help in the years to come. 3 | 2

Langstone Harbour Entrance – This channel marker is looking pretty beat up. That’s probably because it’s close to the beach, and so a good target for stones, and quite likely either someone has run into it, or tried to tie up to it.

Uneven Keel – I didn’t check but it looks like this yacht is quite badly damaged – unless one of the keels has just sunk into the mud.

Pots — Old crab and lobster pots piled high on the shore.

Passage — Passage of time, passage to anywhere, passage through life. At some point the fishing boat will probably become an abandoned hulk on the shore.
