Coral Waight on Along the seafront at PortsmouthMatthew Flinders was a hero of mine since childhood. I had no idea of the loss of his remains and the finding of them last year. Thanks.
V.M.Sang on Along the seafront at PortsmouthAbout a year ago we visited a friend's daughter in Southsea. It was good to return and remember.
April Munday on Along the seafront at PortsmouthI'm lacking inspiration for it at the moment. I should get back to it, because I do miss it.
John on Along the seafront at PortsmouthYou’re welcome!

artandarchitecturemainly on Along the seafront at PortsmouthSpouse and I lived in the UK for two years in the early 1970s, in North London and Herts, and loved them both. But the jobs kept us limited geographically, and we had not enough money back then. I would have loved living the south coast. Thank you now, 53
