And speaking of the Cote d'Albatre..I fetched out one of your excellent pix from some time ago Ed..isnt this the one and the very same ship?? Cant quite make out the name but I think it is..here we are..its a cracking shot from the unusual angle.
I think this was a frontpage job in former times..

also caught my first sunlit glimpse of the Nord Pas de Calais today and here she is resplendant and glowing in new livery.. a newly painted thorn between two roses !!??
Out of the way guys..we're coming through..!!......
the scene below might have surprised the guys fishing on the busy breakwater today as this P&O bore down upon them ...
but the captain found his brakes in time and all was well. The fishermen carried on in tranquil mode catching the mackerel and the captain manouevred slowly backwards into pier position
yes all was well, and the sleepy afternoon carried on as normal washed by a watery sun
