Interesting things happening in front of our hotel — We were fascinated by the construction of this miniature golf course going on below our hotel window.

What Gare Bears might wear in the woods — With the emphasis on might. Well actually, might not. We had a good laugh though.

Fish & Chips and a couple of pints at The Still & West — A pint and pub grub on our first evening in Pompey.

Ginger, Gary and the Spinnaker Tower — Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth.

London Heathrow, T5 — I love buildings like this, and we spent ages looking at the construction details.

Heathrow T3 from our hotel — The hotel’s sound insulation was very impressive. 2

To all appearances, we might still be flying — Good flights, an excellent connection, and we zipped through border control in the UK in minutes. Down in Baggage Reclaim our bags were first on the carousel, and our hotel was just a short (inside) walk from Heathrow T3 Arrivals.

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.
