Harwich Sea Festival

Have been working today (Sunday 28th July) but spent most of the day at the Harwich Sea Festival. Its held on the Quay in Harwich Essex (road is closed) on an annual basis, with lots of ships of course, and lots of activities for all the family. Today was very very busy, with the festival culminating in a display by the RNLI and a Sea King helicopter. the whole day went without any major incidents, so fun was had one and all

Busy Bee

Well after an afternoon in the garden, which was a mixture of weeding, watering, reading and listening to the IPod ( but not in that order). I come into prepare dinner, and after a short while, sat down in the lounge, when I feel something on my arm. To be precise, up the sleeve of my T shirt, an explority hand up the sleeve, caused a buzzing sound to be heard.

It has to be said at this point, that I broke the world record for T shirt removal, only to find a very large bumble bee.

It was safely deposited back into the garden where it belongs.

I can report that neither the Bee or myself were injured lol

Afternoon Tea

Well last year in November, my good lady and I celebrated our 40^th Wedding Anniversary. One of the gifts that our family bought us, was afternoon team at Le Maison Talbooth  in the Dedham Vale.

Well we decided to keep this treat until the summer, and today was the day. 27C sitting on the terrace, it was a very pleasant hour spent.

I'm here as well

Thought I needed to start another blog, as I wanted to keep my Cruise blog, just for cruise relayed items. So this is where you will find all my other ramblings.

Enjoy !
