Keeping Things in Perspective.

The final plank to be fixed to a hull is commonly called the Whiskey Plank.

 So named because a tot or two of Whiskey was often poured to celebrate this milestone. 




Never one to shun tradition I thought I would keep up this practice by breaking the seal on

 one of my Christmas Presents. Maybe invite a few friends round. 



  
However once I got things in perspective I realised it was better to celebrate on my own. 

And that reminded me of one of the very best Father Ted sketches.

  Just Brilliant.

Sunset Boulevard


Another great day out with the Muddy Boys. 

Once again we were blessed with the weather. 



The Beech Avenue following the course of the old Roman Road near Wilton



The ubiquitous bike shot. 


Tisbury Tithe Barn.

 Damned by faint praise  


You can see the Fovant Regimental Badges from here,

Thank You and Good Night.
