Hi Shez & Pete , Pete you old smoothie getting the Romance Package . Typical of P&O not giving out any information it’s the same here . Sail away looked good, nice singing 🎤. Like the look of the back of the ship , looks like you get a great view from the nightclub. Next episode we hope we see you both going down that slide 😂 . What a shame about the Covid. Hope you are both well now .
Thanks Brian, our singing is not good..Pearl is better...We were going to do many things but ended up just relaxing... Next vid up soon, put a plug in for you, hope it is ok..

Thanks Pearl and Brian...I could have had more of those beers...Food was great.. I was testing the pocket 3 and managed a few shots of my shoes leaving record on..Still learnt a lot of what not to do... I don't think it was the beers fault ..Looking forward to your next vid...:-)
Congratulations 🎉on 50 years great achievement we’re a couple behind you .who are all the chocolates 😂 looked like a fun time . Very Dapper in the trilby.
We really enjoyed watching your video of the national 🚈 🚃 🛤 🚞 railway museum. Great music 🎶 too! My husbands especially enjoyed looking at all those beautiful models!! 🫣🤭😍
Great video, very atmospheric. Love the old trains , my dad used to have a layout back in the day . How come we don’t get those gorgeous passengers in Essex 😂 . Seeing that sleeper carriage reminded me that we are off too Edinburgh next month on the Caledonian sleeper.
I used to see this ship almost daily when it was laid up on a dry Dock in Irvine. I believe the Scottish maritime museum bought it with the intention of restoring it but the project was too big and they couldn't secure funding. I even got to go on board once as a kid in the late 90s/ early 00s.
Hello! New subscriber here. We really enjoyed watching your video. So interesting and informative. Those bunk beds looked so small! You wouldn't get away with that in this day and age. We are looking forward to seeing your future content 😀
@@pbrunottephoto1646 Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps ? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why ?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
So sad to see the Carrick (City of Adelaide) in this shape, I used to see it reguarly in Glasgow when I was a kid & i even had a birthday meal on board in the early 1980's, I hope to see it restored to its former glory one day.
I have been following the fortunes of this ship since the 1960s, and I am glad she is in South Australia. It is too bad they did not get her before she was allowed to sink at her moorings. However, I think to call her a "clipper" may be a bit of an exaggeration. Her lines are pretty full.
I remember this as the Carrick, and when I was a child she was moored alongside in Glasgow, and was used as a club for members of the RNVR (I think). Didn't see her for many years then found her on the hard at Irvine in Ayrshire, looking very sad, and crumbly. I am so glad that she has gone home and is gradually being restored.
You have a big job restoring her. Almost to late! These things need to be saved. It would be a duller world without beautiful things like this in it. She will be a real sight when she is finished!
Thank Goodness she was saved. She is the oldest Clipper left in the world (there are only two clippers left, the other being the Cutty Sark), and from memory she is the last iron and timber composite hulled sea going ship left in the world. She is an important piece of history.
My father sailed on the Cutty Sark, Archibald Russell, Kirkcudbrightshire and many other fully rigged ships. I had my share at sea singles handed my 50' ketch for five years from Hobart to Cairns each year. Good to see the last old girl brought back to life.
In 1948, she was decommissioned and donated to the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Club, and towed into central Glasgow for use as the club's headquarters and remained on the River Clyde until 1989 .. Maybe that is when the lamp came into use. ?
