A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Visiting the Yard for the last time in 2021

 

So having booked Thursday and Monday off for a long weekend I wanted to make one last trip to the Yard before they close for the season. At least this year they are closing at their usual time towards the end of November, last year they were forced by yet another lockdown, to close early in October :-(

So Tedster and Dad accompanied me for what was a really nice, bright autumn day. Lots of leaves around for some colourful autumn piccies and generally not too cold, at least to start with.

Dad had a good natter with a chap onboard HMS Gannet learning how the cannons worked, moved and fired. Ever the mechanic he'd already been trying to figure it out for himself when the chap offered to explain the workings. He was very knowledgeable and happy to chat with Dad.

We enjoyed a light bite in The Mess Deck, save sitting outside munching on sandwiches, and had a good wander around with the cameras.
