I SAW A TALL SHIP GO SAILING BY
Honestly, I hadn't meant to disappear again, especially as I was starting to get back into the swing of Flick.
But, because my pain levels are now beyond what I can bear, I have been put on quite a high dose of daily morphine and it is playing merry hell with my narcolepsy!!!
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Hopefully my brain will learn to adjust and stop fighting with itself!
Last weekend we had the Tall Ships festival in Belfast before they started their Atlantic Races.
Alas, couldn't go so Mr.Killen proposed we have an adventure early Monday morning and see the Tall Ships anchored out at sea at various points along the North Coast before they set off for Portrush and the start of the race.
Set off at 4.15am, starting with Castlerock as we could see them anchored from our house and spent the next couple of hours zipping along the coast.
What made it even better was the glorious sunrise and gorgeous light and we finally ended up in Ballycastle where most of the biggest ships were anchored.
Ended up down my fave little road in Ballycastle which ends up near Fairhead and we parked listening to the baby birds being fed and watching the tide gently come in.
Just as we were leaving I happened to glance back at Fairhead and saw a tall ship in full sail coming round the head.
Immediately the opening theme from The Onedin Line (BBC Production that ran from 1971-80) started playing in my head and if you listen to www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTWK-eBjS3Q it does evoke tall ships sailing on far flung Oceans.
This was my favourite photo of all the ones that I took, the light was amazing, Fairhead looked so stark and bleak and in the background, the West Coast of Scotland is covered in a thick, dense layer of fog.
And so I saw my tall ship go sailing by.
