Rip Van Tinkle

Hi Bloggers

Sorry about the delay but having the sh*t ripped out of you (literally) makes you very tired and opaque.

Wow as I said on my last posting it has certainly knocked me for six, and all I've done mostly since is sleep and rest and recover! There's lots been happening in the world at large and i shall tackle these wonderful issues in individual posts if I may?

My first subject is the Duck house and the news that our Local Champion of the Mallard community in Gosport Sir Peter Viggers intends to auction the same for charity.

Well say I, It seems to me that this turn of events will mean that someone else will be paying for it again; or have I missed something?

Also what is the charity involved?

It would seem that one would get the kudos whilst another foots the bill! Hmmmmmmmm! what do you think bloggers?

Having said all of that am I just being churlish when such an important architectural item deserves to be saved for the nation? It could sit in Walpole park ((Named for another Politician) , or indeed find a mooring in the carp pond at Fleetlands which could then be designated as a national heritage site. I favour the latter as a worthy memorial of all our local MP did for Fleetlands.

I would hope that some local worthy would start a fund to retain this gem both for the national heritage and within Gosport. Any Takers?

Toodle Pip!
