Ahoy! See my video on the internet here! Ha arrh!

Sometimes it takes time for it to load -I'm also on BlipTV as well here.

Make sure you go for the one on the right!

Well I must tell you mateys a shiver ran down my spine yesterday! I heard G's crew saying mmm what a delicious bear -must eat it straight away- with lots of laughter.

I searched for me belayin pin - they weren't going take me without a struggle! When I realised to my relief that it was a chocolate covered biscuit thingy in the shape of a bear.

So there he is before being eaten up! From what I could hear he was very tasty too!

Ahoy thar mateys! Here I be outside of the Michael Ashcroft building in Chelmsford.

I voyaged there with G as he was doing one of them thar conference thingies. A chappie gave what was called a keynote speech (no idea what that is -surely keys go in locks like on my sea chest?)

He was also going on about digital natives. Well the only natives I ever came across were either friendly (arh Hawaii!) or like the day when we went ashore to fill our casks with fresh water and the next we knew spears and poisoned darts were whizzin past our ears!

On the return leg of our voyagin' from Luton we briefly stopped to admire the countryside just outside Baldock.
We often pass through Baldock -especially with B&T so it was interesting to see that the town was founded by the Knights Templar (they did a fair bit of voyagin' too, ooh aarh ) Also in 1904 there was the Baldock beer disaster! Many a wave I have seen but never a wave of beer, knockin' down houses an all!

Today our voyages took us to Letchworth. I did not know much about this place but discovered that it is the only place in England where there is a colony of Black Squirels. B&T would not be best pleased to learn that one of the schools is vegetarian! Give me salt pork with me hard tack any day mateys!

Tough Ted Log Monday ye fifteenth o' te month o' May -ha harr!
Cambridge again -this time at the Smart Life Centre - a brand spankin' new buildin' where hard working construction students will be a learnin' how to build houses and things. Maybe not as good as shipbuildin of course but they could always work their way up! Reminded G of his dear old Pa saying that a naval warship was almost a floating town as all was there aboard -electrickery, steam , doctors and all !

Thursday visited Norwich as G had to visit the college to help with a training event on disabled students. Many of my crew mates were as such. Old pegleg Davey, One Eye Jack and the captain who had a hook for a hand. There was a fancy galley there where the microwave and measuring scales talk to ya!

Admiral Nelson came from Norfolk and went to school in Norwich. Now there was a sailor if there ever was one. His lady love Emma Hamilton was a real beauty.

Today voyaged with Gebeth to one of them thar fancy learnin' places -'The University of Hertfordshire'. He told me that it used to be called a 'Polytechnic' which sounds even fancier to me! Apparently its history includes something called the aerospace industry -aeroplanes hah! give me a trusty seagoing vessel any day -if you ever catch me up in one of them thar things then keel haul me!

I also learnt that Hatfield is twinned with the small port of Zierikzee That's more like it mateys!

Voyaged to Ware again -this time we were at the Priory.
The site of the Priory is quite old it was founded in 1338. That would have been during the reign of Edward III, I know that he must have done a bit of sailing as he had to cross the English Channel for his battles with the French.

I did not come across any ghosts at the Priory -but if I had then my trusty belaying pin would have had to come into action -oh arr! Of course at sea we would often talk about The Flying Dutchman whilst in the mess, quaffing grog and hard biscuit. That ghost ship doomed to wander the seas foerever!
