Non League Football especially Fareham Town Fc, Cricket, Real Ale and craft beers and a varied music taste.

Overnighter 💪
I lied. The self titled debut by the Cords.

Sarah Records jangle pop eat your heart out

Really looking forward to seeing them support the Primitives later this month in Coventry.

Next up is the new one from Hatchie. Released Friday. A welcome return

Well worth a few of your English pounds

Bit of Russian shoegaze whilst cooking Sunday lunch.

This is their release from earlier this year.

Think Slowdive but louder

Thanks Ms Postie for today's beauty of Russian Shoegaze

Then at 7pm it was West Vlanderen v East Vlanderen as KV Ardooie took on SV Sottegem, and it was the host Westerners who took the honours 4-2 in a penalty should out after finishing 2-2 after 90 minutes. Not a game to live in the memory, but Orval available in the club house 😍😍😍

First up was KSV Kortrijk 1-2 SC Roeselaere.

Newly promoted to the West Vlaanderen 2nd tier, KSV almost pulled off the shock against their 1st tier opponents who wasted so many chances.

Admission was 5 Euros, no paperwork

Tuesday is Hampshire Day.

Why isn't there a public holiday???

A new album by The Red, Pinks and Purples?

Don't mind if I do

My first published book.
A tale of joy, love, heartbreak and unrequited love

2 years ago. Miss you every day. 😢

You never understood what makes me tick in the same way I never got your love of gardening and crafts, but I know even more now that you were immensely proud of me.

If you need a live album in your collection then if you can get this one from the late 1980s it's a must.

Has to be my biggest musical regret never seeing this band live

In time for our new season in the IsthmianLeague the Fareham Town fc fanzine "Up The Creek" is making a come back 😱.

Whether regularly or a one off remains to be seen.

On sale in readiness for the big kick off.

The win for the hosts sees them win the title and with it promotion to Cymru North.
May 17, 2025 at 7:12 PM
No new grounds for me, but looking forward to revisiting some crackers

If anyone fancies some football Saturday, the Hampshire League has their 2 Cup finals
May 8, 2025 at 11:35 AM
Bank Holiday Monday morning #groundhopping took me to Surrey County Premier League and Addlestone 0-5 Wimbledon Casuals.

Att: 46
Admission and Programme: Don't be daft

Casuals the league champions were far too good, their first 2 goals in particular were worthy of much higher level than this.

Saturdays #groundhopping saw me travel west to the quirky Victoria Bottom, home of Nanpean Rovers who were hosting Looe Town. 2nd v 1st, level on pts, 3 games to play. The visitors coming from behind to secure the 3 points to assure promotion 2-1.

Good afternoon everyone.

What a crazy 7 days it's been so time to let off some steam at The Brewers Tap, home of The Southsea Brewery.

First up is their black IPA - Lights Out
May 2, 2025 at 3:28 PM
A lovely night for some silly season ground hopping, so up the A34 it was to Lambourn Sports 2-3 Down Ampney in the Wiltshire League. Ironic really as neither side are actually based in Wiltshire but Berkshire and Gloucestershire respectively.
April 30, 2025 at 7:32 AM
What's this weird thing called promotion all about?
April 27, 2025 at 3:43 PM
A lovely spring evening in the Cotswold

Gloucs County League
Chalford 2-1 Sharpness
Att: 128

Avonmouths' win elsewhere ended Sharpness title hopes anyway, but 2 goals in 3 minutes either side of the 80 min mark turned the game round in the hosts favour. The winner a controversial penalty.
April 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
What do you do on a day off from your vocation as a driver?

That's right, make a 500 mile round trip for midtable Northern Premier League Division 1 East "action" between Ossett United 0-1 Consett.

Att a healthy 406. And 1 strip out in securing the raffle prize
April 18, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Also somehow got a parking ticket despite being parked correctly along with everyone else on a nearby road, whose cars didn't get a ticket 🤔
April 8, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Sunday 3pm
Regionaliga West
Schwarz Weiss Essen 0-0 SPVGG Velbert
Att: 540

Nice historic ground, Shame about the game. Not quite Hereford v Leamington crapness, but not far off it
