Camber Quay, Old Portsmouth is home to Portsmouth's fishing fleet - some 20 to 30 vessels landing fresh fish and shellfish on a daily basis. A wide variety of fresh and frozen fish and live or cooked shellfish is available from fish stalls and markets on the quaysides.

In addition, Camber Quay has facilities for long or short term lay up of yachts and pleasure boats. KB Boat Park operated by Ken Brown Boats Ltd offers a dry berth launch and recovery service for small craft: summer and winter boat storage for larger motorboats and sailing yachts, plus lift and scrub ancillary maintenance services.

During the height of the summer some 15 to 20 pleasure craft a day also secure to the Quay walls. The sailors disembark for a visit to the fortifications, to visit one of Old Portsmouth's public houses or hotels, many with fine views over the Harbour entrance and the Solent, or to buy from a wide variety of fish from the markets situated on the quayside.

There was a lovely tranquil feel to the town and harbour at Christchurch

We walked to the end of Port Solent to see if we could see Portchester Castle. I decided to see how my phone would cope, as I didn't have a proper camera!

Had a play with the pano setting while we were out on Saturday. 'Spiced it up' a bit on Photoshop, but haven't cropped it at all

Lunch time for swans

I'm not sure bread is a popular food for swans these days, but it brings back memories for me of when we used to take the boys to feed them at our local Canoe Lake!! This is Christchurch Harbour.

One of my first holidays with Tim was to Devon, back in 1987! We stayed in a chalet just outside Torquay, in a place called Maidencombe. The holiday park was called Sladnor Park (Hoseasons), but it's not longer there. Here I am posing at Torquay Harbour (8th Sept 1987)

We joke that when we meet up with southseadave it's never sunny! But for once we shared a sunny evening in Old Portsmouth!

Taken during an evening walk with Southseadave - for once it was sunny!! This beach is near the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, and it's the one I used to go to most as a child, being just round the corner to our house.

I had thought of this 'shed on legs' as a hidden gem, but we've shown it to all guests that we've walked round with - in this case, when we were out with Southseadave

Below is a daytime shot from when we walked round with Son of Fugazi.

Torquay Pier

On our last evening we took a stroll along the pier we could just about see from our window! It was a nice way to end the week.

I actually had to desaturate this shot of the boys, as the evening sunlight was so strong!

Walking round Torquay!

The newly built foot bridge (completed 2003) joins the two sides of the inner harbour - sadly we didn't know it lit up at night, so I only have a daytime shot.

Living in a very flat city, I love to see all the layers of houses up the hill in places like this! What great views they must have!

Boat trip anyone?

Lots of trips on offer at Brixham, but the weather was too misty for us to be tempted!
