Hornpipes

Gosh. In all the excitement of Saturday's Gay Pride, we neglected to notice that was also Armed Forces Day!

Better late than never...

  1. I’m imagining all those real life sailor positions.

  2. I used to like stroking Action Man’s fuzzy head, and burying him in the sandpit.
    Nice sailors!

    1. I never wanted an Action Man. I had a Spiderman doll instead! [I wonder whatever became of that..?] Jx

    1. Oh! I hope that doesn't affect every reader - it's our own video, posted to my YouTube site, with only a restriction "Unlisted" - which should mean it embeds OK.

      If that's not the case, I'm concerned... Jx

  5. Well, I don't think I've seen a hornpipe as big as the one in the first image. Blimey!

    The Action Man I had had a little switch at the back of his head to make his eyes move from side-to-side. I think he was on the look out for another Action Man so he could try out that top right position.

    1. "Oh, what a beauty! I've never seen one as big as that before..."

      I remember "Eagle-Eye Action Man" too, and have often been known to do that sideways glance while out cruising... Jx

  6. Well all I can say is - All together now -

    there's something about a sailor
    (Well you know what sailors are!)
    Bright and breezy, 'Slips In' easy,

    Gawd bless um and all who sail in um.

    1. "Ship ahoy, ship ahoy!" - what we always used to sing when heading to the Hoe when the fleets were in... Jx
