We also visited the naval hospital at Bighi(?) not generally open - for Jack Tars recuperating here it must have seemed like paradise!

I always get the sense Brandt’s work is designed to be evocative as much as documentary - I don’t get all the hand wringing.. as an aside bought a house last year with no windows to one elevation - it’s on a slope and the windowless wall is North facing (and now has windows 😀)

Have started adding decals to the big 262. As 15 year old Trumpeter decals go these are incredible, super thin and conform really nicely

As a slight aside Skircoat Green, Halifax, was a hotbed of Chartism in the mid 19th century. The pub is still called the Standard of Freedom following a speech by the Landlord “The people of Skircoat Green shall join in that march of freedom and I shall raise the Standard of Freedom at this Inn.”

On a lighter note the local res is being drained for maintenance (not drinking water, it was built to provide power to the many textile mills in the valley). It is crammed full of mussels! Some really quite large. Apparently they taste like cr*p and are often full of parasites though 😬

In Barmouth for the annual beach race. Got the campsite to ourselves, not surprising really at this time of year. Need to leave the van in gear though 😜
