A day in Stanley

A quiet day as the 30 knot Easterly wind would make going to sea very uncomfortable.
Went up town for a few things.
Dropped into the museum to have a look.There was a lady who must have a passion for recording the history of Stanley and surrounding places.
She has collated quite a few books on people and places and is still hard at it writing more.
I asked about a relation of my mother’s and got at least an hours worth,a book and a photo wearing the old blokes hat.I scored an Apple fron Henry Spiers apple tree,have not checked in the book yet but well over a hundred years old I think.

The lady is doing battle with the church to make sure they don’t sell it,good luck on that.

We were offered a berth across the pond by a fisherman to get out of the slight roll at the wharf,a lot quieter tonight.
A couple of more boats came in today.

Wandered over to have a look at the ship which services King Island,they loaded her up late today left before dark.

Had Jill’s chicken disk for dinner tonight,a very nice one indeed.We are not going hungry.

Photo of me in the hat and John doing his thing,washing the boat,to be fair we did cop a bit of dirt and gravel from the shore last night in the wind and rain.
