Spent a lovely day in my week off by nipping down the A3 to Portsmouth. As the sun was shining, I felt like a day by the sea. Plus with all the rememberance of Nelson's 200 year anniversary and 60 years since VE / VJ day, I wanted to see part of where history was made.
I did a boat trip round the harbour and saw some our impressive modern day warships and aircraft carriers. Awesome sight. My dad would have been impressed being ex-Navy himself. Went on HMS Warrior and HMS Victory and saw the tudor ship Mary Rose in it's wax sprayed room where they are keeping it preserved. The £15 you pay to get into the dockyard is great value for money as you get to do about 6 different attractions and the ticket is open ended for a year so if you miss one, you can go again.
Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed my day, I saw some history, the sun shone, I had fish, chips & mushy peas AND a cornish ice cream! Recommended (that's all of the above!)
Hard to believe that the follwing day was wind and gales but thats British weather for you! Still, the sun shone for me and it was nice to be by the sea.
My photos are on the link 'Flora's Pix' - enjoy!
