Normaal gesproken kom ik gemiddeld één keer per jaar bij de VSM; tijdens Terug naar Toen. Dit jaar echter, ging mijn oudste zoon met vrienden naar Beekbergen om een klein weekje in een vakantiehuisje door te brengen. Na afloop ben ik nog even bij de VSM langsgereden, waar ik het terrein op mocht om nog even wat rond te kijken. Verder ook de diverse seinen bewonderd en gefotografeerd. Helaas werd dit jaar door de Corona maatregelen Terug naar Toen geannuleerd. Maar deze foto's had ik gelukkig toen al binnen.
On average I visit the VSM once a year; during the event Back to Then (Terug naar Toen). This year, however, my oldest son went to Beekbergen with friends to spend a short week in a holiday home. Afterwards I visited the VSM, where I was allowed to take a look around. Also admired and photographed the various signals. Unfortunately, this year the event Back to Then was canceled due to the Corona measures. But luckily I already had these photos in the pocket.
Normalerweise besuche ich die VSM durchschnittlich einmal im Jahr; während Zurück nach Damals (Terug naar Toen). In diesem Jahr ging mein ältester Sohn jedoch mit Freunden nach Beekbergen, um eine kurze Woche in einem Ferienhaus zu verbringen. Danach fuhr ich am VSM vorbei, wo ich mich umschauen durfte. Bewunderte und fotografierte auch die verschiedenen Signale. Leider hat dieses Jahr die Corona Maßnahmen Zurück nach Damals abgesagt. Aber zum Glück hatte ich diese Fotos schon im Speicherkarte.

A domandarti come stai,
si corre sempre un certo rischio.
Il rischio che risponderai
e questo normalmente sai,
non è previsto!
Non è prevista l'onestà
e se ti guardi intorno,
mi darai ragione.
E va di moda la sincerità
ma solo quando è urlata
alla televisione!
La verità non paga mai
anzi negli altri mette sempre agitazione!
Non discutere di ciò che sai
Su tutto il resto,
esprimi sempre un'opinione!
Chi non conosce dignità,
non può nemmeno percepire
umiliazione
e se qualcuno mai te lo rinfaccerà
non gli rispondere,
sorridigli sornione
Sornione!
Di andare dritto proprio
non mi va
girare intorno è la mia condizione
Tipo avvoltoio
sulla verità
se guardo altrove
non è per distrazione!
E' il tempo che è
necessario
per decidere,
per affilare
le unghie
e poi combattere
Anche se sembra
che nulla mai mi tocchi
quando sorrido
non chiudo certo
gli occhi!
Ma le regole le so
Giocherò seriamente
come so,come sai
Altrimenti non potrei
rispettare
a fondo questo impegno
e domandare ancora
il tuo sostegno!
Amami...tu amami!
(e certamente soffrirai
ti ribellerai,mi maledirai
mi dirai
che ti rovinai
poi mi odierai
poi,forse,
ci ripenserai)
E osserva bene questo ghigno
Quando mi rincontrerai
mi sorriderai...
sornione
Ricorda bene questo ghigno
Ricorda bene questo ghigno
A domandarti come stai
si corre sempre
un certo rischio
Il rischio che risponderai
e questo sai,
non è previsto!

And now we are getting back to the new normal people are back on the roads crashing cars,. A good thing for my trade one would think but doesn't seem to be as accident repairs centres are shutting down faster than pubs these days.
That aside My head is getting back in order so that's always a good start. This evening we had a massive down pour leaving affair bit of standing water about, Just a shame I missed it, so would have loved to run outside in a rain storm.
I can be quite normal on occasion. No over the top claims, statements or remarks and nothing bordering on the depressing.
Just a little bit of nice with a touch of quiet. Which, to be honest, is what I'm really like.
But shhhh don't tell anyone I did this :o)

Had to sit on the roof of the kids' playhouse to get this shot, don't know what the neighbours thought but don't really care either! TV aerials everywhere and one very dirty lens!

Created by Taylor Cross, a 17 year old aspiring film maker with high functioning autism, Normal People Scare Me highlights 65 interviews conducted over the past two years by Cross, with interview subjects representing different levels of abilities on the autism spectrum. The film's interview subjects range in age from 9 to 57 years. Cross asks subjects questions such as "What does autism look like from your perspective? Do you like or not like being autistic?; What do you want to be when you grow up?; to Have you ever been teased? The courageous kids, teens and adults Taylor interviews offer powerful, poignant, and deeply moving insight to life and living behind the many faces and mysteries of autism. In one of Cross' most moving interviews, he connects with surfing champion, Izzy Paskowitz of Surfers Healing.

*EXPLORED*
Saltwick Bay, Yorkshire
On Saltwick Bay near Whitby lies the wreck of a trawler named the Admiral Von Tromp which foundered In October 1976. How it became wrecked is a mystery which will never be fully solved.
The one man who could have solved the riddle died in the water that day.
At 1am the Skipper Frankie Taal set off from Scarborough Harbour. Mr Walter Sheader,(10 Longwestgate) Pierman on the West Pier helped cast them off. He stated that everything seemed normal and that the crew were definitely not drunk(if they had been the whole thing may have been easier to explain). Frankie Taal set a course for the Barnacle Bank fishing grounds - 45 miles NNE of Scarborough. He then had a cup of coffee then came back to check again on John Addison. Everything seemed normal and he went to bed leaving Addison on the wheel - he was an experienced man on the wheel.
Then skipper Frankie Taal was woken as the vessel was bumping and heeling. Crew member John Marton thought the boat had been run down - it simply didn't enter his mind that the boat could have gone on the rocks. The boat was heeling over off Black Nab on Saltwick Bay. The skipper was incredulous and asked Addison "What the hell are you doing!". He simply looked back in stunned silence.
How exactly did a modern boat with all the navigational aids run aground on Saltwick Bay. The weather wasn't bad and they had enough fuel? It was foggy but that shouldn't be a problem as they were not heading anywhere near the coastline. Captain Abbey from the coastguard even charted the boats course and when it sank it was heading due west. That was 90 degrees off course. The boat had been heading straight towards some of the worst rocks on the coast!
Strangest of all was the testimony of a senior nautical surveyor at the inquest. He stated that the boat if left to its devices would not have gone onto the rocks. It really was driven onto the rocks by a deliberate act.
Frankie Taal made valiant attempts to save the boat. They all put their Lifejackets on and then he tried to anchor the boat. Then the vessel turned broadside and it then started to fill with water. He had already sent out a mayday - having to get John Addison out of the way - who was still looking stunned and was powerless to act. The boat was now sinking in thick fog, with a heavy swell breaking on the stern.
The rescue proved very problematic. The boat was heeling over. Frankie Taal ordered the crew to hang onto the starboard side but the seas were too heavy. They instead went back into the wheelhouse. They stayed here for an hour. The wheelhouse slowly filled with water and in the end their heads were banging on the ceiling. In the end they had to leave through an open window - Skipper Taal was last out. Addison was already dead at this stage - drowned in the wheelhouse.
The rescue showed how difficult it is to save lives even in the modern age. The Whitby Lifeboat tried again and again to get near and failed. The Coxswain of the Lifeboat, Robert William Allen, even spoke to the skipper - who said that everyone was alive. The boat tried 7 times to get close. At one point the vessels even touched. Yet heavy seas and fog hampered the rescue. They could even have snatched the crew yet at that moment they were still imprisoned in the wheelhouse. Rocket lines were thrown by the Coastguard but again this failed because the crew were trapped inside the wheelhouse.
When they left the wheelhouse then problems were bound to occur. George Eves was on top of the wheelhouse yet a huge wave knocked him off. That was the last the skipper saw of him. He died drowned. Skipper, Taal was washed overboard and was eventually saved by the inshore Lifeboat. He drew their attention with his whistle on his Lifejacket. The Coastguard had thrown him a line but he did not have the strength to catch it. The other survivors were washed ashore.
It was a tragic loss with two men dead. Quite why it happened will never be explained - Addison died in the water. He drowned and pathology reports showed no signs of alcohol. He spoke to Alan Marton just after the accident happened just saying Oh Alan!" in a quiet apologetic voice. He seemed stunned and unable to act. Skipper Taal had to remove him from the wheel in order to try to rescue the boat.
The crew onboard the Admiral Von Tromp were:
- Frankie Taal, 35 Princess Street, who had 23 years at sea. Saved by inshore Lifeboat.
- Alan Marton, mate, 22 Longwestgate. Survived.
- Mr Anthony Nicholson, engineer, 6 Avenua Road.
- Mr George Edward Eves, East Mount Flats, Scarborough,fish hand. Who drowned
- Mr John 'Scotch Jack' Addison, Spreight Lane Steps, Drowned in the wheelhouse. His body was found on 25th October In Runswick Bay.
A Silver Medal was awarded to RNLI Lifeboat Coxswain Robert Allen. He had skillfully dropped anchor and tried to drift towards the trawler. A Bronze Medal to the Helmsman of the inshore Lifeboat, Richard Robinson, for taking Frankie Taal off Black Nab.
