I've been thinking all week about the Titan submarine crew. On midsummer's morning I woke from a dream at 0351. I'd been in the dark claustrophobic vessel and jumped out of sleep into wakefulness with an enormous gasp. I must have been holding my breath while asleep. Normally I would drift off again, but as it was the summer solstice I went outside and waited for sunrise. A tawny owl chick was squawking for food, then the day birds started up and fingers of golden light tickled the dawn mist aside.
I’m a Nottingham lass. Went to college in West Bridgford and first lived away from parents in a shared house there, somewhere off Loughborough Road. It’s interesting to compare where our lives have taken us. I’ve done a good share of travelling too, though am settled in one place for the time being, and you were just about 20 miles from my home when you recently climbed on Lundy Island (I follow Climb South West, which is how I found your Instagram). Reading your travels gives me that wanderlust again. Fascinating story.
Thanks Kathy. You live in a wonderful area! The cliimbing on Lundy was amazing but a day trip was far too little. I'll be back to stay next time. Thanks for the follow and please do pass the link to anyone you think might enjoy the stories. One of these days I will go back to West Bridgford and walk those old streets! K
Really interesting, so many stories about the Titanic and those who survived and those who did not, especially the resident at #9. Thank you for this glimpse of history.

Love this! What a coincidence!
