Was going to mention that we were colonised by the British for a long time. We even have some of your laws from when you were here.

Lol. We were married 4 years after you. We always look at it as being every 7 years. Sooo year 7, 14, 21 etc.Surviving 7 years is supposed to mean that you’re through the worst of it. You have learned how to cope with the rockier patches together .
There are no guarantees. My parents separated after over 30 years... though, knowing what I do now about my late father, I wonder how Mum put up with him so long.
We got married in 1990 which seems an impossibly long time because I cannot be that old

I have seen five box Turtles trying to cross the road this morning as I'm heading out. I don't think I've seen that many all year so far LOL.
G’day all. Spent the better part of yesterday kayaking near Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Fells Point, Canton Park areas where we stumbled across a water festival called “Kinetic Baltimore” where various school groups and organizations enter floatable/driveable machines and navigate a short water route.
We also paddled by some very large US naval ships....

The school floats looks like loads of fun. Nice pictures as usual.
Yes...all types of groups sponsored floatable machines... some with lots of engineering skills, some with none, many in between. This one here was a reticulated alligator complete with dry ice for effect..
If interested, here is a link to the idea behind these kinetic “sculptures” - https://www.kineticbaltimore.com/

Good afternoon everyone. JoesDad and I are in the quaint town of Rye in East Sussex (about an hour from home). We are staying the night as we are going to see 80s band “The Christians” tonight.
The B&B we are staying in is incredibly old - wonky floors, wooden beams - the lot. We have a 4 poster bed and the breakfast room has a minstrels’ gallery
It’s all cobbled streets and ancient buildings - guaranteed to be on @moozillion’s bucket list!

I love beans on toast!! It’s been forever since I had them!! Do you put a bit of butter on yours?
Just lovely!!!
The oldest buildings originate well before the 1400s here. They are very ancient indeed.
Rye was a busy sea port on the English Channel, but sea levels changed over the centuries and the harbour silted up leaving the town still technically a port, but 3 miles from the sea!
Its fortifications were necessary to protect it from the French (who the British have had varying levels of conflict with over the centuries), but in places you can see where WWII gun emplacements were put in ancient defensive locations.
This is a two way street where we are staying!
The road to the church... also two way
Ancient buildings
Ypres Tower. Named after a Norman (11th century) lord rather than the WWI battlefield
View from the tower out to sea in the distance

Ypres Tower has a long history as the local gaol.

And just to seal the deal for Bea... a proper English tearoom (it was the end of the day and we had it to ourselves )

That looks like a lovely place to stay. Better check that there are no pea's between the mattrasses.
