The classic pirate adventure that spawned a multitude of pirate clichés from the parrot on the shoulder, shiver me timbers and yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Rollicking tale.
A much better night's sleep and so felt much recovered this morning. Stayed at home nevertheless. Tried to venture out into the garden for lunch, but the wind was a touch fresh so we decamped inside.
Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs supper watching episodes of This Country - super hilarious.
Glad you're feeling better. I love that bookmark - visited the Marie Rose quite a few years ago now - a fascinating visit. There is a house in Braemar, very near us, where (apparently) RLS used to go for his holidays - there's an inscription above the door. Nice twosome for your image.
What a beautiful book jacket! I remember when they brought the Mary Rose up. It seems like Prince/King Charles was very interested her. Just memories of mine.
