Sir Frances Drake. Pirate, Slave Trader, Explorer and Naval Captain.
Airstrike on the 3rd of January 2020, not the sort that makes world news.
Sir Francis Drake, Statue on Plymouth Hoe
theoldmortuary took a walk in the sunshine yesterday around Plymouth. Number 2 in Condè Nast best holiday destinations. We would have visited Number 1 but no busses went there from home.

Apart from the small and acurate act of seagull disdain on Drake, Plymouth was looking pretty good.
We basked in the winter sun, protected from the wind by the Collonades above Tinside pool.
Hugo and Lola took to basking in Winter very quickly.
The required 10, 000 steps were broken up by nearly an hour of basking and drinking coffee.
It was all as you might expect from a Number 2 holiday destination.
A red wreath and red cars added a late festive flourish.
As always with theoldmortuary walks we found a nice example of rust.
Another Plymouth blog

theoldmortuary. design has long existed in my mind. Blogging about it is one of the first steps to making it real. Intended as a gathering point for all things creative, it is both a real bricks and mortar place and a notional place of thoughts and creations. As creative projects mature into tangible objects they will be showcased here. Daily blogging will give me the chance to record and comment on the things that inspire or impress me.
