Review, Js, and car boots
Life has been incredibly busy recently what with doing a review at Mullion Cove for a website, then last Thursday we went on the press boat for the J Class yachts who were racing in Falmouth Bay. They are the most incredible boats and despite not much wind, they had a good race or two. The press boat was not quite what I'd enjoyed last year at the Pendennis Cup, though. This year it was a deep sea fishing boat (with no seats) - quite a long time to stand (6 hours) with camera etc. along with four professional photographers. Mr B pointed out the only thing that was missing was ice and fish.... Still it was a real privilege to get that close to the boats and I've got a good library of shots now.
And Mr B's taking me to the eye department at Treliske this afternoon as I have a Foreign Body in my eye which they have to remove. I am trying my best not to think about that right now. Oh, and the dentist before hand.
Tomorrow we are doing the car boot at Rosudgeon to try and make some money. All go here!
Gosh good luck with your eye. Shame about the magazine but maybe something else will pop up to replace it.
ReplyDeleteThanks DC - just off to hospital now. X
ReplyDeleteThose shots of the yachts are lovely. Hope your eye and teeth get sorted out painlessly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Addy - both sorted and loading the van up now!
ReplyDeleteI know from your Facebook updates that your eye is OK. Love the photos. x
