Under Way

Brixham, Devon

Sunday 2nd July 2006
Day 561

A short trip down to Brixham to see two of the tall ships preparing for the big regatta next weekend. I'd love to see these under full sail, but this mornings thundery murk scuppered that...

more of the festivities...

Rolling home, rolling home,
Rolling home across the sea,
Rolling home to dear old England
Rolling home, dear land to thee.
