Swallows and Amazons forever!

ImageImage

The damp Picnic Cinema evening at Brantwood was worth persevering with. The band was great and the audience settled down in true Swallows & Amazons style to make the most of things regardless of the weather.

Swallow was there to watch herself on the screen and Rob laid out a fine campsite scene. There was a Pirate and a Campsite quiz and plenty of skull & cross bones to be seen.

Peggy’s knife even came in handy for opening a bottle of grog.

Mmmm sounds like a “wild salmon” quote if ever there was one.

 “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.  Do the things you think you cannot do”.

Been following her  online with the Marine Traffic tracker. Click on the “last position” link  and you can find out where she is. Glad to see her safe & sound after the trip down from Oban.

The tracker shows up all the fast ferries and tankers and things as well – the overnight sails must have been like walking along Blackpool pier.

We didn’t mean to …

We didn't mean to ...

When we first found Treize for sale on the Tamar I found this mug when I rummaged through the cupboards. It felt like we were in the right place some how. We brought them home last week when we went down to see her in St Just. Julian, Hugh and Joe have been doing a grand job with her. All being well she will be in the water next year and perhaps we should celebrate with a brew up in these mugs. Don’t know which owner bought them but they’ll do fine for us.
