How many times have I heard Carolyn say where’s the Thingy..
You should always have one of these .
Liked this one ,but not a clue what it’s about.
We have seen plenty of Grey Herons but not a Blue one.
Another strange boat name and one that I just had to Google.
The legend tells of young John Lambton, son of a noble family in County Durham, who was fishing in the River Wear on a Sunday. When he was unable to catch a fish, he cursed the river, and immediately hooked an ugly little black worm which he later disposed of, in disgust, in the local well. This worm was to grow into a great serpent-like monster which blighted Lambton village and wreaked havoc in the area whilst John was away fighting in the Crusades for seven years.
When he returned home, now Sir John, he learned about the terrible creature that he had inflicted upon his village, and in remorse, set out to combat this monster. With the advice of a wise woman, he devised a suit of armour strong enough to withstand the power of the serpent and covered with spikes to penetrate its scales.
He successfully killed it, but in so doing inadvertently inflicted a curse upon his own family which was to last for nine generations.
The legend of the Lambton Worm is believed to date from the 14th century.
One for her indoors. I mean her inboat !
I think there is a story behind this boat name. Anyone know what it is ? .
Apparantly Flip is a cartoon character although being an old you know what I have never heard of him.
"One Step Ahead Of The Devil" was a song by BLUE OYSTER CULT . But not sure about Toymachine .
Just need to find a boat called Fred.
Happy Days
