#ShippingForecast
As the BBC marks 100 years of the daily 'Shipping Forecast', the general cargo vessel 'Cellus' is pictured here heading out into a stormy North Sea from the Port of Sunderland in North East England.

The #ShippingForecast is 100 🌊 - a century of calm voices & rolling #SeaAreas on #BBCradio4.

My #paintings #AttentionAllShipping & #SailingBy are inspired by its #poetry, a visual tribute to a #British #nationaltreasure.

The much-loved words of the UK's #shippingforecast are deeply etched into #British DNA. They remind us of our #maritime history, our North Atlantic geography, & and are a daily prayer to the #Weather Gods.

I'm one of those people who will listen to the #bbc #ShippingForecast without really caring about the weather at sea. It's just a reassuring thing to listen to for some odd reason

I came across this map today and it's the first time I've seen exactly where all the areas are

It's taken to age 61 😀

I'll give this a listen. The #ShippingForecast itself I always turn off. I know some people find it soothing, I suppose like some sort of incantation.

I expect you're wondering how I'm getting on with my #ShippingForecast #painting... Pretty well!
And the time I spend painting it is just #SailingBy. I might finish it this weekend. Keep watching!

For #PostboxSaturday here is one in #Stromness, #Orkney, with added Fitzroy Fisheries Barometer. There is also a #ShippingForecast connection.

The BBC is celebrating 100 years of its broadcasting of the #ShippingForecast. But in a typically parochial way, it doesn't mention that there is a similar broadcast in France (which, it seems, started 5 years earlier)...

Today Friday July 4th marks a whole century of the Shipping Forecast existence on BBC Radio! Very much looking forward to reading tonight’s bulletin on @BBCRadio4 - Happy 100th birthday #shippingforecast #sailingby

...and suddenly, when I've covered enough white space, the #painting begins to take on its own life.

#shippingforecast a lullaby of the words, a prayer to the #Weather Gods.

Surely we all must have a favourite shipping forecast region?… I’ve always had a soft spot for the German bite #shippingforecast

I hear 2 iterations of the #shippingforecast each day and am intrigued by Valencia and Liverpool Crosby,which I can't see on any map of the sea areas.I see that L Crosby is an actual place,but the only Valencia I know is the one in Spain, on the East coast.They are in the inshore waters part.

BBC Radio 4 is doing the centenary of the #shippingforecast today and it's lovely. "Rockall Malin Hebrides, that's my favorite bit", someone says, and who can argue?

The only time the #ShippingForecast has also been read on tv was for the December 1993 Arena Radio Night on Radio 4 and BBC2. Read here by Laurie MacMillan youtu.be/HnQ2Lk20n3U
