Thanks Stuey, hope you got over your "bug" OK. How's the job hunt going?.

I'll have a go at turning into a letterbox to see what it's like.

Cheers,

Howard

It seems as if my question has been answered


Sorry you can't see the photos Gwyn, I don't understand why. I tried as a guest and saw them OK, I did wonder if it was because you are not in the UK but my son whose in Malta has seen them. So, sorry, I've no idea.

This is the image - Isle of Inishmore leaving Holyhead and turning for Dublin with the Skerries lighthouse in the background.




K5 + Sigma 150-500

The attached link may be of interest to someone, I say "may be" as I have not seen images of ships anywhere on the forum for a long time(someone will no doubt correct me).

Scroll down a bit for details of the ship and when taken.

Taken with K5 + Sigma 150-500, from Penrhos Beach, Holyhead. I submitted it to the blog to see what would happen, lo and behold the owner and writer liked it and put it as his front page. I gave him others but they have not been used.

Any comments and suggestions for future improvements would be welcome.

Hi Stuey,

Here you are, it's on Sky unfortunately

Will Saturday's beer be in celebration or drowning of sorrows?

Glad you are feeling better.

Try this -

but hurry, if it suits, it started last Thursday.

Also try South Cheshire College in Crewe (I think).

Another one for you

this is truly a "gem". However be careful some of the rocks can be slippy, my wife fell here and hurt her back.

How about -

Pembroke Castle and town
St David's Cathedral
Pembroke national park
The coastal walks (especially if you can't "stay put")

The "VisitPembroke" web site (sorry I haven't got the link) could give you other ideas.

Many years since we've been, it wsa very enjoyable and would not mind going again sometime.

Hope that helps,

Howard

David Lloyd George Museum at Llanystumdwy is worth a visit (in my opinion).
There's the castle at Cricieth and Harlech Castle is not far.
Porthmadog - Home of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways.

and plenty of other places.

So yes you should take a camera. And rainwear!!!

Enjoy.

Howard

Thank you, David, yes proud indeed.

Andrew (Gamka), I'm afraid I still haven't put all the medals together but here is a very poor (in fact b***dy awful) shot of the other medals to give you an idea. Included are the Atlantic Star, the Italy Star and the Africa Star, the last two for the convoys to Malta.

Wow. I'm very touched by all the lovely comments. I'm sure my father would be if I told him, I don't know what his reaction would be if he knew that his photograph was on the internet (he thinks it's full of porn!!!!!).

I'll see what I can do about the other medals.

Thanks all.

Cheers,

Howard
