Hello World
Pammies comes to you from Hampshire in the UK. I am fortunate enough to live in this
area, which is surrounded by pine trees and heath land. There are many lovely walks in
the surrounding area. We can even boast our own local racecourse "Tweseldown."
The Basingstoke canal flows through Fleet, Aldershot, Farnborough, Woking, and Weybridge,
where it then joins the river Thames. During the Easter and Bank Holiday weekends the
canal boat the "John Pinkerton" operates along this Hampshire stretch of water, and is
very popular with locals and tourists alike.
Fleet pond is a nature reserve set in 135 acres, the pond occupying half of this; it is
the largest fresh water lake in Hampshire. Local people are used to the annual site of
the Canadian geese holding up a line of traffic, while mother and chicks cross the
road.
Education
Education plays a large part in my life, although I work during the day, in the evenings,
and at weekends, I partake of Open University courses. My love being anything to do with
computers. For any one wishing to know the basics of how their PC works I would suggest a
visit to the OU website, a link is provided below.
Open University courses help you develop through knowledge, you can work on-line, and at
your own pace. My TMA for the course T171, was on Tim Berners-Lee, he was the pioneer and
paramount web developer, of the World Wide Web (www).
For my TMA, I was able to search the Web for detailed information. All web addresses have
www at the start of them; which you may well have used to access this website:
http://www.pammies.com. The URL address helps to direct traffic to its destination. By
using this increasingly popular technology, we can find information on just about any
topic that may be of interest to us...
General Information
Pammies has links to local amenities like, Fleet Carnival; in addition, don't miss the
photographer Jonathan Mist beautiful photographs, some if which are taken of wildlife
along the Blackwater canal. In addition, why not view the beautiful work of the artist
Terry Harrison, he paints some stunning local scenes.
The Farnborough Bi-Annual Air Show is an extremely popular event, it brings many tourists
from around the country and abroad and is a, much heralded event.
I also dabble in story writing between my university courses. I'm very much a novice at
this, but it helps to take me away from reality, which we all need now and again. The Eye
of Ra story so far contains six chapters; you can access these by using the 'My Links'
section. Or, I have written a short story (novelette) STAR.
