Just one picture ...



Spolier - NOT in my home town to see the Flying Spotsman coming through, nor do I expect there to be any trains passing the window.

I'm glad to see that that's a calm sea.

But I don't know where specifically it is, nor can I identify the vessel.

"THE" Flying Scotsman? - Oh dear you will be in trouble when someone sees that!

I was expecting to be pulled up on the "Spotsman" - the Scottish Mr Blobby ... even my spell checker baulked at it until I insisted ...

Well, I saw a cloud formation once just like that, but can't remember where . . .

I suspect not a cruise ship because of the tacky window surround. A ferry somewhere?

Indeed, and now that we have come down up for breakfast, there are more clues

The fittings and furniture that are functional rather than plush or posh do strongly suggest a ferry.

Indeed - if you're looking at the South Coast, international ferries only from Dover, Newhaven, Portsmouth and Plymouth these days. Gone are Sheerness, Ramsgate, Folkestone, Southampton, Poole and Weymouth even in my memory.

As that figure in the Simpsons-themed dress looks like a Spanish one, are you crossing the Bay of Biscay on your way to Northern Spain?
