The Memory Wanderer: Another Ship!

Another Ship!

Ships round here seem to be a bit like London buses - you wait ages for one to come along, and then another turns up.

This is the Silver Crystal which was at anchor near the BBC Adriatic this afternoon but didn't stay long....

....heading northeast up the coast towards her destination of Nescaupstadur, Iceland.

The Silver Crystal is a Norwegian refrigerated cargo ship launched in 1991.

The Memory Wanderer

I'm at the wrong end of the road, a short distance to look forward to and a long way travelled, so I spend more time looking back, enjoying the memories, and less time in anticipation of the way ahead. The road trodden has been a good one, a rich and winding one, over which I hold no regrets. There is much still to do - only the end of the track ahead intimidates.

Time is mine now, so I remember, sometimes deliberately, sitting in the warm sunshine, sometimes because my mind, as if keen to help, suddenly gives me a flash of memory, a vivid picture which, like an exploding rocket, illuminates a moment in life; and then fades.

I have seen its dark side but, in general, the world has been kind to me. I have few regrets, I have many blessings, so these thoughts are offered as a celebration of a fortunate life.
