Quite a wide miss :- 193,029 visits at 21:00 [GMT] on 26th December 2024. Somewhat of an approximation as I was out at a social event for much of the afternoon.
The Winter Solstice was on Saturday, 21st December 2024. During the week following 25th December ; Sunset is a minute, or more, later each day ...
Hope you enjoyed the festivities.

And, RIGHT on the nail, for a change - 192,000 visits at 13:00 [GMT] on 5th December 2024.

Very close this time, as my visits totalled 191,002 at about 09:55 [GMT] on 16th November 2024.

Another quite wide miss ! My counter was 190,008 at about 09:30[GMT] on 28th October 2024. Missed again, total was 189,013 around 08:30 [BST] on 8th October 2024

Visits Total was exactly 188,000 at 08:11 [BST] on 19th September 2024. So, I managed a rare "on the nail" for this, quite pleased as I had been away for a couple of days.

My visits count passed the 187,000 mark around 18:00 [BST] on the 30th August 2024, but as I was away from the interent this evening, I missed the exact moment, again.
My total went over the 186,000 mark sometime over the weekend of 10 / 11th August 2024, I was away that weekend so I missed the precise moment.
My total visits counter passed the 185,000 mark sometime on 22nd / 23rd July 2024 ; as I was away from the internet, I missed the exact moment.
My total counter was 184,004 about on 6th July 2024, which was just a slight miss from being right "on the nose".
The visits totaled 183,001 at about 11:38 on 18th June 2024, which is close enough to being right "on the nose" ...
My total vists were 182,001 around about 21:25 on 30th May 2024, which is close enough to being "right on the nose" ...
My "Counter" ticked over the 181,000 total around 23:59 on 9th May 2024, baseed on the usual pattern of visits during my night-time hours.
My visits total passed 180,000 during the early morning of 20th Aprl 2024, based on the usual pattern during the UK's nighttime hours.
Spring has arrived, finally, judging by the plants - and young lambs - together with some slightly better weather; at least we have had some sunshine and milder temperatures.

The counter passed 179,000 around midnight on 27th March 2024 [or shortly afterwards] based on the usual patterns of visits during my nighttime hours.
I was at a conference during the period when the visits counter passed 178,000 - I estimated 12:00 on 7th March 2024 as I don't have an exact date / time.

Recent weather has continued to be cold, wet & windy, thankfully there are now a few signs of approaching Spring - despite some snow flurries in the past few days. There has been so little respite from stormy weather that many areas are still water-logged to the point of flooding. Strong winds etc have uprooted a lot of trees, leading to some disruption to travel [whether that's ferries, rail or roads] and power outages, depending on where you are based. Fortunately, SW Northumberland has escaped most of the time.
At 17:22 [GMT] on 13th February 2024, the visits counter ticked over to exactly 177,000 - spot on, for once !

At 11:28 [GMT] on 24th January 2024, the counter ticked over to 176,003 total visits.
Recent weather has continued to be very cold, wet & winds - now [22nd Jan 2024] up to "Jocelyn" in this season's named windstorms. There has been so little respite from the stormy weather that many areas are water-logged to thne pointv of flooding and lot of trees have been uprooted, leading to severe distruption to power supplies and travel [whether that's ferries, rail or road !].

Happy New Year for 2024, everybody ...
May you be peaceful in your body and in your mind.
May you be safe and free from accidents.
May you be free from unwholesome states of mind, fear and worries.
May you know how to look at yourself with the eyes of understanding and
compassion.

Sometime today, 13th December 2023, the counter ticked over to 174,000 total visits, I'm going to assume it was noon. There was some snow in the last week of November / first week of December, and it has remained very cold. Apart from that, the wet & windy weather has continued, almost unabated since late September, with several "named" storms [last was Fergus on 10th December 2023]. As a result there are some very water-logged areas - including fields and roadsides.

Slightly missed the 140,000th visit, as the count was 140,010 when I actually checked at 11:17 GMT on 26th November 2021.
Almost exactly spotted the 139,000 milestone. The visits total was 139,001 at approximately 10:56 on 6th November 2021. [back on GMT from 31st October]

An extra new poroject arrived on October 2021.

When I checked at 14:07 on the 7th September 2021, I was able to determine that sometime before 14:03 the visits total had been spot on at 136,000.

Somewhat missed the 135,000-th visit, as I have been out for most of today at various masked & socially distanced meetings. Total was 135,021 at approximately 10:45 on 19th August 2021. [spotted when I came back from the first visit]

Almost another "spot-on" as my visits total was 132,003 at 10:02 on 21st June 2021. Happy Summer Solstice !Managed another "spot - on" for the 131,000 total. This was achieved at 17:45 (BST) on 1st June 2021.

Managed a "spot - on" for the 130,000 milestone. This was achieved at 21:40 (BST) on 11th May 2021. I am still working away with the various backdated images, and I have found some more "missing" images ...

I was away from a decent internet connection during late April 2021, working on building up a replica carriage kit on site, construction there had been started at Easter. Therefore, I missed the 129,000 threshold. I estimated that this figure was achieved sometime around the 21st April.

A little under this time ; 127,994 @10:30 [BST] on 29th March 2021.
[Sometime on the 19th March 2021, this article had the 1000th visit !]
A little less over this time ; 127,011 at 11:54 on 12th March 2021.

A liitle over this time ; 126,025 at 19:30 on 20th February 2021
Another new project arrived on 18th February 2021 as an exchange with the previous carriage. The transport moves were significantly delayed by various Covid-19 lockdowns.

This is including a period without being able to upload new images - this problem was resolved at 14:00 - approximately - on 12th January 2021 and I did three test uploads at or shortly after 14:05.

Season's Greetings ! Here's hoping that 2021 is an improvement on 2020. Truly an annus horriblis for many people. My sympathy with everyone that has been affected by the pandemic.

A little over ; 125,023 at 22:26 GMT on 31st January 2021.
Actually spot on ; 124,000 at 20:50 GMT on 12th January 2021.

In early September 2020, I re-established access to several hundred images from 2005 to 2010 - and started to download them. Almost all of them were related to trips for Esperanto events with my [now late] father. I had thought that I had lost them forever, but now most are uploaded here and backed up elsewhere.

That was a lot closer :118,001 visits at 20:57 (BST) on 10th September 2020.
Nowhere near enough to spot on ( I was away for a few days) ; 117,075 visits at 15:39 (BST) on 21st August 2020.
