Wordless Wednesday - Horse Shoes.

 The two large shoes are from Percherons and were given to me by Virginia at The Poupounette. The smaller one was from my thoroughbred who is no longer with us, but buried in his field. He lived to 34 which is a very good age for a TB. The shoe looks so tiny in comparison.

The Chapter House, Wells Cathedral. Notice how the steps have worn away through the years. The lower set of steps were built from 1286, and the higher steps 200 years later.

"Puppy", the flower statue which guards the entrance to the Gugenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. I actually think it looks more like a cat with a pointy nose!

 Getxo coastline, Near Bilbao Spain.

Seagull scarer!

This photo is so blurry that I am embarrassed to publish it, but it is to give an idea of how they keep the gulls off the ships. He just scares them but doesn't actually catch them.

 Horse drawn barge on Tiverton Canal. At one time the barges would have been working, but this one now takes passengers sightseeing along the canal.

Wordless Wednesday - One month later!

Back to sea again!

 

Our suite

Yes, that is gin on the glass shelf but it is mirrored so looks more than it is.  Not that I am making excuses for the 15 bottles!! (We get two complimentary mini bar set ups.)

Why get your ducks in a row when you can get swans in a row instead!

 Seen on the road into Tintagel, Cornwall. That should catch the speeders attention!

Wordless Wednesday - At last!

Leaving Southampton

 

Somewhere in the English Channel

Last week we were able to go to sea again at last after four cancelled cruises. All passengers had to have had their second vaccination at least two weeks before sail date, and also to have a drive through Covid test at the port. No-one was allowed to embark until they had a negative result sent to their phone. It was only a four day cruise with no port calls. Basically we sailed around in circles from Southampton to the tip of Brittany, halfway back to Southampton, turn around again and down to the Lizard (Cornwall) then back to Southampton. Nobody cared that it was a cruise to nowhere, it was good to get to sea again and relax.
