Two Officer types cast their eye over a new design taking shape for games in Dk. Africa. " By Jove Carruthers I,m not at all sure I approve of the design, too new fangled for my taste, d,ont you know , what, what, speak up old boy. "             "H,mm yes sir , the funnel,s not secured yet - it can move. The sun,s over the yard arm , it,s a three gin problem.

Should,nt that be "Velly intellesting " --no,no, sorry that,s a Japanese accent -- is,nt it.  Earlier on I,d made some Dhoys  and was aiming for an armed cutter to go with the  Copplestone navel brigade tars in the sennet boaters.

Well thank you kindly, I,ve enjoyed your site and was saddened to read of your mother-in-laws death last month. My own mother passed away in June of this year at the age of 99, she would have been 100 in Augest, it knocks you back badly. I,ve managed some more work today adding a ships wheel and a 1st coat of paint.
