This will probably fill nobody else with delight but it has me.

I have just seen on the local news that there is a replica carrack berthed in Weymouth Harbour. I have just told somebody where we are going next weekend and he does not appear as delighted as I am.

I'm sure someone can find something else to do in Weymouth, go and enjoy! :-D

Brilliant. You may not get to Malmo, but at least you'll have a chance to see a copy. :-)

It is a cog I really want to see but this might well be a start.

Was it a Cog in Malmo? Sorry if Carrack was misplaced.

Yes, I think it is, but this carrack is somewhat later.

It was quite a surprise to learn about it on the local news, it was only mentioned in passing.

Hope you can make it, Sharron, and your o.h. will be more responsive nearer the time

Is there anybody around Weymouth tomorrow?

It looks like he has rearranged his work so we can go down there then.

Looks like I had better be reading my book a bit carefully today then!

Well, we went to Weymouth in the new Smart.

Very comfortable journey and saw the carrack. Unfortunately it does not open to the public until tomorrow.

Tiny, tiny ship, 85 tons (two and a bit artics) and the original one sailed round the world.
