Barrow in Furness

Our first night in at Barrow and a lovely dinner with Aunty Susan and Uncle John.

Where is Barrow? I have no idea, I was asleep in the car on the way here.  But I was told they build nuclear submarines here in a big building right next to town.  In fact we heard on the radio yesterday that they launched a new sub yesterday, not knowing where. Who would have thought we would end in the place it happened.

We actually heard that some lady a Baroness or something smashed a bottle of champagne over the boat (what a waste, when you think I could have used it to shampoo my hair).  Anyway she didnt break the bottle the first time so she had to try again and got it on the second attempt.

No big thing you say.  Other superstitious mariners would tell you this is bad Luck.  So you wont see me on any sub built in Barrow not in a pink fit.
