It is a lovely city and I still live in Hampshire and visit Winchester regularly and I look back on this blog with fondness of the time I lived there.Thanks for visiting!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04638277344675453855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737316383156346517.post-52456323531609829482013-08-01T18:22:00.001+01:002013-08-01T18:22:44.569+01:00Cathedral <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-VGOSRsxPSvE/UfqZX7jAaFI/AAAAAAAACKU/BWzweIbNsM8/s640/blogger-image-1454204852.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-VGOSRsxPSvE/UfqZX7jAaFI/AAAAAAAACKU/BWzweIbNsM8/s640/blogger-image-1454204852.jpg" /></a></div>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04638277344675453855noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737316383156346517.post-23995395965321329982012-11-03T13:53:00.001+00:002012-11-03T13:53:05.979+00:00Getting ready for ChristmasIn the cathedral close the Christmas market chalets have arrived and the ice skating rink is in place.

This the Westgate, which I've posted photos of a number of times before. Today a group of us went out drawing around Winchester. Here's my quick sketch of the Westgate!<br />

It looks like The White Swan pub in Hyde Street has closed. I have been in the pub a few times as it is not far from where I live, but I don't think it was as popular as some of the other pubs in Hyde, such as The King Alfred and the Hyde Tavern. Maybe it will re-open, as <a href="http://photosfromwinchester.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/willow-tree.html" target="_blank">The Willow Tree </a>has?<br />

<br />
There was a large cavalcade of police motorcycles, bikes, cars, publicity trucks etc and finally the flame, and it passed so quickly! I'm not sure that the person carrying the torch was anyone famous (despite my son saying 'It's Orlando Bloom' !)<br />
<br />
If you're feeling terribly bored here's a video of the route from Reading to Winchester, with the last few minutes of it coming through Hyde in Winchester. <br />

On Wednesday the Olympic torch passes through Winchester, infact right past the bottom of my road! Here at the Cathedral they are obviously setting up for the arrival of the flame with a number of Olympic Flags. I have been working on the Olympics since 2010, and to say I have Olympic fatigue is not an understatement! However I really am quite excited about the torch coming here and the games themselves, I have even taken the day off work om Wednesday to try to see the torch! </div>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04638277344675453855noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737316383156346517.post-34818207027180255532012-07-09T20:21:00.004+01:002012-07-09T20:21:48.574+01:00Hat Fair<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'll admit I was away for most of the weekend so did not go to any of the Hat Fair this year, however I do have one quick photo to add to the blog. It has been so wet, it has rained every day in July so far. I remember <a href="http://photosfromwinchester.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/hat-fair.html" target="_blank">last year</a> getting slightly sunburnt! No chance of that at the moment. I imagine the weather put off quite a few people unfortuantely.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04638277344675453855noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737316383156346517.post-11346433938078360352012-07-07T13:33:00.001+01:002012-07-07T13:33:21.425+01:00Wet summerLast week was wet and rainy, this weekend looks the same and the forecast for next week? More of the same. A photo here of the high street. Note the London 2012 banner, the Olympic torch passes through Winchester on Wednesday! Hopefully the rain will not extinguish it!<br />

It dates from the 13th Century. It fell into disuse as mill in the 19th century and became derelict. It was renovated in the 1950s and is now a private house. <br />
<br />
The fulling of cloth was a process to tighten and shrink cloth and mills constructed for this purpose were called Fulling Mills, hence the cottage's name! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GfcSsgFxPxw/T-dI3UkKzTI/AAAAAAAACCE/vVI_ftqMOv8/s640/blogger-image-1398817556.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GfcSsgFxPxw/T-dI3UkKzTI/AAAAAAAACCE/vVI_ftqMOv8/s640/blogger-image-1398817556.jpg" /></a></div>Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04638277344675453855noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737316383156346517.post-3544561421210627102012-06-23T18:13:00.001+01:002012-06-23T18:13:42.225+01:00Farmers Market at the CathedralI've seen the farmers market a few times now set up by the cathedral.

Degustibus? I know the French word 'degustation' means a tasting, but it always sounds a little too close to 'disgusting' to me! Anyway, I'm sure these breads outside <a href="http://photosfromwinchester.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/caracoli.html" target="_blank">Caracoli </a>coffee shop were very nice. On 'google-ing' I discovered that <a href="http://www.degustibus.co.uk/" target="_blank">Degustibus</a> are Artisan Bakers based in Oxfrodshire. Raisin, date and pecan loaf sounds nice!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04638277344675453855noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737316383156346517.post-28453540470131931552012-05-28T12:32:00.000+01:002012-05-28T12:32:28.927+01:00Keeping fit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think this is part of the <a href="http://www.forcesfit.co.uk/locationinfo.aspx?id=1" target="_blank">Forces Fit</a> who run outdoor military fitness classes delivered by serving/ex serving members of the armed forces.

Yesterday was <a href="http://www.winchestermayfest.co.uk/" target="_blank">Mayfest </a>in Winchester, a celebration of traditional and contemporary music, dance and song. In the High Street they had a couple of Morris Dancing groups. I think of it as a very traditional English dance, although it's not something I've ever done, nor anyone I know of! There were some other Morris Dancers I featured on the blog back in <a href="http://photosfromwinchester.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/morris-dancers.html" target="_blank">December 2010</a>. As you can see from the sky it's been glorious weather here most of the week!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04638277344675453855noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737316383156346517.post-31195996705164483982012-05-26T16:27:00.001+01:002012-05-26T17:27:37.711+01:00Snow at Winnall Moors?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kyoto Kitchen in Parchment Street is due to open sometime soon, it will be the first Japanese restaurant in Winchester. The restaurant is part of a small group of Winchester restaurants which include Bengal Sage, on St George's Street, and
Bangkok Brasserie, on Jewry Street. I'm not sure if I'll eat here as I don't like fish, but hopefully there's more to Japanese food than sushi.<br />Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04638277344675453855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737316383156346517.post-8255087895451522222012-05-21T18:01:00.002+01:002012-05-21T18:01:29.844+01:00High Street marketThere have been lots of debates on the market in the High Street & I've decided that on reflection I don't really like it that much. The stalls block the entrances to shops and make it difficult to walk down the High Street at the weekend because it gets so crowded, some of the stalls sell some interesting things but there is also a lot of uninteresting stuff.<br />

Winchester High Street was full of Union Jack Flags this morning. A lot of the shops have royal/British themed window displays. This of course is for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee marking 60 years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. The main Diamond Jubilee celebrations
will centre around the extended bank holiday weekend of 2-5 June.<br />
<br />
As an aside the weather here today was cold, I'm a bit of a wimp weather-wise but I was wearing my winter coat and I was still cold....and it's nearly June! <br />
