Journeys
Yesterday was about journeys, kind of. I was putting together an outline for a new story and needed to know if it was possible, in 1889, for someone to leave London at the same time a White Star Line steamer left Liverpool, and reach Queenstown, Ireland in time to intercept the ship. (Many thanks again, AH, for your expertise.) You’ll be fascinated to know that it was. While that research was going on, a ship was pulling into Yialos below, as the King Saron made the first day trip crossing of the season. Neil was down at the dentist and took a few snaps which you can find on our Facebook page.
Apparently, shopkeepers, waiters, bar owners etc. are all wearing their masks, though many of the tourists aren’t, and some were not distancing. Just so you know what to expect if you’re heading this way on the newly opened routes to Rhodes from abroad. Meanwhile, back at the desk, my research trundled on with the windows open and the fan blasting while I recovered from celebrating a godson’s 17th birthday a little too zealously. No morning walk for me yesterday, but today, I am trying harder.
