The 30th Anniversary Ball for the JST

The JST recently held an event to celebrate 30 years of the Jubilee Sailing Trust. I was invited to attend with the ship's cook, a very good friend of mine called Graham.

So, this is us ready to go:

And a fab time was had by all!

My new girlie shoes

I know these aren't my usual type of footwear, but hey!

Tenacious during the Tall Ships Race

This was filmed by a Sky News reporter during the Tall Ships Race 2005.

Golden Wedding

'Twas the 50th Anniversary of my parents' wedding, so the whole family gathered together to celebrate.

It was a really lovely time.

And Sis - If you find this - then email me! Ta muchly...

Jubilee Sailing Trust: Sponsored Mast Climb

The Jubilee Sailing Trust are holding a Sponsored Mast Climb in West India Dock in London on the 23rd of September 2007.
The above is a view from part of the way up, so the view from the very top seems a little higher than this!

If you would be interested in taking part in this event, then please email me for more details and I can forward the relevant forms.

Each climber must raise a minimum of £250, and the climber which raises the most money can win a free trip on the ship!

Pictures of me

My chum at the sailing charity has just sent me my volunteer polo shirt and badge. And she enclosed a picshure wot she drawed.

I'll let you pass your own judgement.


I hope that isn't my hair. (Nice to have skinny legs for a change though!)

Sat on their park bench like book ends

Some people you have known almost for ever. Way back when you were the back two desks of second violins in a youth orchestra.

And you don't speak to for years on end, but when you do; it's just like yesterday.

So, Andy - hopefully you've found this in order to email me. It was really nice to start catching up. I've not been aware of missing you, but when I speak to you again I realise that I have.

The Transatlantic

Well, I've booked it.

And now I look it seems like a REALLY long way!

(Thanks to Google Earth for showing me just how far it is.)

So, if anyone needs me next April I'll have run away to sea...

A Voyage on Tenacious

We went, we sailed, we got wet and cold, and we absolutely loved it!

Thanks to everyone on the Forward Port watch - you made it so easy for me.

Feed me 'til I want no more!

We've had a dreadful six-nations championship. Right up until today, and even then we tried very hard to give it back to England for a while.

But we WON! 27-18 will go down in history at home. We do love a bit of a win and especially against the old enemy....
