And difficult to recognise, because my car is dark-green. I went to another car wash in a white car
Happy Easter to all!
Just to say if I could afford this, I would donate it for a 'Pub Cruise'!

Do you dream Brian?
I'm omw home from the old lands. While there I did a little history jumpin, took the car and went searching my roots. The year 1618 a little boy opened his blue the first time on the island Kållandsö. His name was Måns Arvidsson and growing up he became the areas farm bailiff, employed by the King. He went by the name Svarte Måns (Black Måns). Here is the little farm Svartmanstorp where the descendants lived on. He is 9 generations from me.

I've told c2c often enough to be very aware of doing "family tree" research!
My Father also warned my Mother likewise! "Don't try to research the family tree as all you will find is that it is not so long since you left it!"

NEVER once dreamt of being on a seagoing boat....I - when young - suffered very badly from motion sickness.
Yet having said that I spent a few days in France near to Dieppe staying with a great guy in a vast house - he was an Audio fanatic [He had some classic gear, Nak Dragon TT, Audio Note amps (etc etc and loved music.) He was also an ex racing driver and then worked as a test driver for Alpine.
My return to England was by ferry from Dieppe. I got my car on board, went to the dining room and had a big, formal lunch and a bottle of Burgundy. The ferry left the harbour into a wind that was to become Gale Force 9. Even the staff were vomiting....me? I stood in the bar looking out over the bows of the ferry as it was buried under massive waves. I drunk a few pints of Irish Stout
and felt so exhilarated and even happy....no trace of sickness, so I consider myself cured.
I have also spent a lot of time flyfishing for salmon in Scottish and Irish lochs when the wind has been very high....10-14' choppy waves. Never worried me, but always I was fishing whilst the gillie (guide) looked after the drifting boat. Once we counted seven waterspouts and thought it too risky to continue, moored the boat to the closest land and walked back to the house.
I have dreamt - once - of catching so many salmon that the 14' boat sunk!!!!
But I am very aware and anxious of the sea due to being aware of its immense power.

„Habár felül a gálya, alul a víznek árja, azért a víz az úr!”

For those who do not read Hungarian (?), here is what Wikipedia has to tell us!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Carpathia
„Habár fölül a gálya, alul a víznek árja, azért a víz az úr!”?
"However, in addition to the galley, explore the bottom of the water, because water is the master!"
Water most certainly is just that!

When I was sailing the Atlantic outside west africa, I was struggling with my needs trying to stand up and hit the porceline bowl. It was windy and suddenly the cabin window that I was looking thru went under the surface. I then remembered that it was some 4 km deep ocean there. A small chill went thru my bones.
