Just spent a very pleasant day at the South West Ship Show in Bristol. What a nice little show. Enough local model clubs present to show a good range of models, many of which I thought were made to a very high standard, as good as I've seen anywhere. Excellent range of nautical books, both new and secondhand on sale and there were enough stands present relating to full size ships to give the ship enthusiast an interesting day out which was an added bonus for those of us with a foot in both camps. Hope others enjoyed it as much as I did.

When the winds before the rain, soon you may make sail again, but when the rain's before the wind, tops'l sheets and halyards mind
