PP2022 Ep01 Isle of Wight with the LTM Friends
The Isle of Wight with the LTM Friends<br /> <br /> In the Isle of Wight with the LTM Friends I take a trip organised by the London Transport Museum Friends to the Isle of Wight. The trip is in late February 2022 on a beautiful, sunny, day.<br /> Click on a 'thumbnail' to view the photographs for this podcast:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Waterloo to Portsmouth and Southsea:<br /> I have an early start to get to Waterloo where I collect my ticket for the train. We travel down the South West mainline to our first stop at Woking.<br /> <br /> After leaving Working we head south from Woking Junction. Our route is through Guildford, Haslemere, Petersfield, under the South Downs and on towards Portsmouth.<br /> <br /> We leave the train when we reach Portsmouth and Southsea station. You can get details of South Western Railway services here.<br /> By Hovercraft to Ryde:<br /> The party crosses the road and heads for the 'Hoverbus' stop. The bus takes us to the Hover Travel terminus for our rapid journey across the Solent to Ryde.<br /> <br /> The 'flight' takes about 10 minutes, getting on and off seems to take longer!<br /> <br /> On the Island Line:<br /> <br /> Unfortunately our flight is late so we miss the train we'd planned to take from Ryde Esplanade station. Ryde Esplanade station is at the landward end of Ryde Pier. Trains travel to Ryde Pierhead where they meet the Wight Link ferries from Portsmouth Harbour.<br /> <br /> Our journey to Shanklin shows how well the Island Line Class 484 stock runs. These new trains have been converted by Vivarail from London Underground D Stock trains.<br /> <br /> Talking to a driver I hear that, if you didn't know the stock was a conversion from the Underground, you'd think they were built for the Island Line.<br /> Visit to Havenstreet:<br /> We leave the train at Ryde, St Johns Road, and travel to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Havenstreet. After a soup and Ploughman's lunch we have a guided tour around the site and spend time in the museum.<br /> <br /> Many thanks to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway for hosting us on a day when there is no steam running.<br /> <br /> We leave Havenstreet for our journey back to Ryde and the Hovercraft on our journey home.<br /> Thank you to:<br /> The London Transport Museum Friends, Mike Kay and the team at ATTC for organising such a great day; they also deserve special thanks for organising such beautiful weather.<br /> London Transport Museum Friends:<br /> The London Transport Museum Friends support the London Transport Museum. They are based in Covent Garden and also operate the 'Depot' in Acton.<br /> <br /> Find out more about the museum here.<br /> <br /> Members of the LTM Friends enjoy free admission to the Museum, discounts, early booking for the brilliant Hidden London tours and more.

Exhibition of Paintings (3)
Exhibition of Paintings (3)<br /> Welcome to the Exhibition of Paintings (3) brought to you by the Farnham u3a Painting 1 group.<br /> <br /> The group at the start of the project.<br /> <br /> This is the third online Exhibition by the members of the Farnham u3a Painting Groups. The exhibition is of project work by Painting 1 over the past year. Painting 1 is the only group in this exhibition because this project only involves their members.<br /> <br /> Reviewing progress<br /> <br /> In the podcast (at the top) Gloria Stock describes the three phases of the project. The pictures in the gallery (below) show you the results of the group's work towards the three phases.<br /> <br /> Social distancing on the return to the Maltings<br /> <br /> The Artists hope that you enjoy the pictures that they have painted. Although the project started in September 2019 many of these pictures have been painted since the end of March. We hope that you'll find the three different phases of the project very interesting.<br /> <br /> Self review is all we can do!<br /> <br /> The Farnham U3A has three painting groups, because they are self led, with members who have a variety of skills, the members benefit from the skills of each other.<br /> <br /> The three groups welcome new members, no matter their ability, and normally meet every two weeks. At the current time physical meetings, at the Maltings, are suspended.<br /> <br /> You can find full details and contact information for the groups on the Farnham u3a website by clicking here.<br /> <br /> Please click on a thumbnail to open the art gallery:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> About this post:<br /> You can find the Farnham u3a site here.<br /> <br /> There are over 70 different groups, some are academic (literature, languages and history) and others (painting, photography and computing) have a practical or creative focus. Others that are sporty, purely recreational or social; there is something for everyone.<br /> <br /> Farnham u3a has members with a rich pool of knowledge and talent who, in keeping with the ethos of the Third Age Trust, are willing to contribute their time.<br /> <br /> Posted by The MrT Podcast Studio for the Farnham u3a Painting Groups.<br /> <br /> © The MrT Podcast Studio and Farnham u3a Painting Groups - 2020

Message in a Bottle (4)
Message in a Bottle (4)<br /> Welcome to Message in a Bottle (4), the a store for the material in the third Flotsam and Jetsam e-Newsletter from Farnham U3A.<br /> <br /> It doesn't matter if you deleted the e-Newsletter - the important bits are here!<br /> Listen to a Personal View of Lockdown:<br /> Your editors ‘phoned Ann Vickers to find out how she is coping with the lockdown. She’s been keeping busy as you’ll hear - listen using the media player above.<br /> From your editors:<br /> Our wonderful spring has continued and the arrival of recent rain has really perked everything up in our gardens and parks. Those able to take a walk for our daily exercise will have noticed how polite 95% of the community has become with a ‘thank you’ to those who step aside and a cheery ‘good morning’ to people they’ve never seen before. At the shops people stand back to let us reach onto the shelves. Let’s hope that this is a lasting benefit.<br /> <br /> <br /> DIY hairdressers<br /> Last time we asked whether you’d brave a DIY haircut during the lockdown – here’s the answer. 25% of respondents would brave the scissors - no doubt believing that any damage will have grown out by the time they see their hairdresser; 44% were fence-sitters opting to ‘wait and see’; whilst 31% remembered Sampson. Thank you to everyone who participated in our straw poll.<br /> <br /> For those willing to take the plunge the most important tip is to use small scissors and trim small sections a time. YouTube is full of video tutorials, but sadly the models are half your editors age and twice as glamorous. The Telegraph offers this video and The Independent this one.<br /> Groups on the go: <br /> Architecture<br /> This group has maintained contact through a monthly newsletter which is distributed through Beacon about the time the group would have met. The aim is to provide updates (where appropriate), to inform and entertain. Members have also contributed content which has broadened the range of topics was covered in the second edition. A copy of the April newsletter can be found here.<br /> The Arts Community can dip into an embarrassment of riches ….<br /> Art History<br /> There are a great many Art talks, virtual Gallery tours, and clips available on-line. Information about these are regularly sent to group members.<br /> Concert Club<br /> Just before lockdown on 5th March the group attended a concert of chamber music by Handel, Telemann and Bach at the Purcell Room. Sadly, the rest of their programme is likely to be cancelled but members will be kept posted.<br /> <br /> The websites of their regular orchestras are offering music, either from their archives or recorded at home. One of their favourites is the OAE with informative content about their instruments as well as performances. You can listen here. The baroque spoons video is particularly entertaining – look at the date…. and they love this one from the orchestra of the Royal Opera House - click here.<br /> Discovering Music<br /> Group members are regularly receiving relevant clips and links and for others there is the BBC Sounds. This may be a good time to try a free online digital music library like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music or ask a family member with a subscription to add you onto their account. [Editor tip – now’s the time to spoil yourself with a good quality portable Bluetooth speaker]<br /> Jazz Club<br /> Various clips, and interesting pieces by Alan Little on Mingus/Pre-war Blues/Great piano players, have been sent to group members. It’s very easy to search Jazz music on your BBC sounds app or on line digital music service provider.<br /> Philosophy 1&2<br /> Group members have received their scheduled session content by email and been invited to comment on the chapters they would have studied during the classes.<br /> Wine knowledge online<br /> The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) is offering free online events through Zoom.
