Donna Nook


Bombing practice targets at Donna Nook, named after a shipwreck from the Spanish Armada, seal breeding ground and a candidate for the flattest place in Britain. No evidence of anyone ever hitting anything - perhaps they don't have to practice so much lately?

cargoes

Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds,
Emeralds, amythysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.

Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal,
Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

Les Gets


Pretty innit. view from the Mont Chary lift.  Blue bit is sky, white bit is mountain.  Wispy white bit is cloud (unless it's a blown con trail).  Tree shaped bits are trees.
