An outstanding picture Joe!! Nice to know that Portland had a hand in refitting it. What a beautiful sight and the backdrop is not half bad either!! Cheers, Rosa.

Yes, Peggy, I was at the Fairy Trail with Anne, the lady, who started the thing off. She was attaching the giant toadstool to a tree, when we noticed this sailing ship coming down the River Clyde. It was lovely watching the ship sailing past. Thanks for your very kind comment. All the best, Joe
