May

Once upon a time I blogged daily ,now I can only manage once a month and even then I do not have much to say.

May started with the annual Pirate Festival in Brixham, Devon http://www.brixhampiratefestival.co.uk/ This is growing each year with many travelling a long way to join in the fun.

Brixham is famous for its sailing trawlers which were built in the town,and are now being restored and added to the heritage fleet.

of interest to my New England friends the Mayflower replica in Plymouth Massachusetts, was also built in Brixham  and our home is built on the site of the original shipyard.

The Fairmile was a WW11 Boat which now does cruises around the bay and to the Greenway Mansion where Agatha Christie once lived.
