These few days we are catching up on necessary jobs which have had to wait until we got back to the UK.
We still found time to visit an exhibition of photographs commemorating the first launching of the liner and telling the tragic story of the loss of life when the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on the 15th of April 1912.
The image is of 6 year old Thomas Douglas Spedden who was one of the many 1st class passengers to survive. By contrast, few 3rd class passengers lived to tell the tale of that terrifying event.
Heading away from the exhibition we discovered a table tennis table and took on two Romanians. We didn’t quite hold our own.

That ship was fine when it left Belfast!
Never mind about your loss to the Romanians. If Boris, Michael and Nigel get their way there won’t be any Romanians, Bulgarians, Latvians, Poles, Slovenians, Swedish, Spanish, anyone with a funny sounding or strangely spelt name, anybody with a black or brown skin or even the slightest flick of the tarbrush, any random foreign johnny or swarthy looking type, anybody with a Z in their name, anybody who doesn’t speak perfect English and can recite magnificently from Beowulf, anyone who doesn’t eat steak and kidney pie and two veg, anyone who can’t pronounce Belvoir and Mainwaring properly, anyone who doesn’t believe the Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six were actually guilty, anyone who doesn’t watch the Great British Bake Off or indeed ANYONE else left in the UK to beat you at table tennis.
O happy day.
