After a while you get in to a rut with breakfast around 0930, lunch about 1300 and then dinner at 1845 , all good food and u must be careful not to eat to much although the servings on board are small with the idea that if you re still hungry you order a further dish. But in between time we spend a lot of time looking at the passing scenery which is rather nice and stopping every now and again for an hour, or sometimes ten minutes to take on shipments, and then back on the road.
We are both impressed by the handling of these ships and they Captains of same seem to do an amazing job in fitting them in to little slots on short wharfs, yes most impressive.
There was no football last night and so we had a quiet evening reading and Noel catching up with photos and blogging and email etc . Whilst we are here there is a lot activity in respect of our estates action to counteract the proposed extremely large and mostly unnecessary development of over 500 houses and 15 traveller sites which equates to 15 caravan per site or a total of 45 caravan plus all their trucks and vans etc. Within our estate we have some residents who have planning knowledge and so six people have started work on the subject and will appoint ‘legal beagles’ to present our case and in a short day we have so far raised over £12K and this is most encouraging.
My cold continues to hand around and although I beginning to feel a little better I keep losing my voice and what there is left is all squeaky just like micky mouse. In the meantime their are activities on the family side back home which will requite some attention by us when we get back.
At the evening meal we sit next to a Scottish couple who own bakery producing shortbread which they sell thro a limited supply chain, nice couple and just enjoying her Birthday trip.
