I enjoyed your photos and history very much.

I was invited to almost everyone's Christmas Party... AND---I am so NOT a party person, preferring to be home cuddled up by the fireplace listening to some good music. BUT--I endured many parties and groups. These days--I run in the other direction... ha ha<br /><br />BUT--I enjoy reading about others' parties... Looks like your Camera Club had a great time at the museum and then at the Plough Inn.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-41047040441361312302012-12-03T07:07:00.322+10:002012-12-03T07:07:00.322+10:00Just looked up Jessica Watson,

Maybe she trained out of that marina? Jessica certainly was a brave and intelligent (seawise) young girl. I believe to keep her yachting skills up, she now crews in the annual Sydney/Hobart race.<br />I am dreading Tuesday, if the forecast is right, but at least by midnight some respite comes.<br />Cheers<br />Colin (Sweatbox HB)Colinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-58982502064342517612012-12-03T05:00:19.797+10:002012-12-03T05:00:19.797+10:00You have such interesting posts.
