anteros_lmcI'm still living in a building site here and we've got several more weeks of chaos to go, but we're starting to see some progress :} Meanwhile the Tall Ships have sailed from Falmouth to the Thames and today they made their way up the river to Greenwich. I've been enthralled watching their progress on AIS shipping and the pictures that have been appearing on twitter all evening are just stunning.

The photos are wonderful, though I am green, VERY green with envy.

And Esteven is right that the advertising seemed to penetrate the consciousness less than other years this time.
beautiful pictures though :)

I've read two so far and they are very entertaining, although a bit far from true age of sail stuff.
