No boats yesterday. Loads today!
All heading into the harbour.
Paddle Surfer.
Oystercatchers.
And others.
Not many on the beach.
I walked. And breathed.
My carer this morning was telling me about a man she cares for who is on oxygen. Like me as soon as he moves on rising he is breathless. But then oxygen and he is fine. I want to be like that. Not long to go now.
Sunday is the commemoration of a disaster at sea. Concerning the loss of life on our lifeboat some years ago.
A 50th Anniversary Commemorative Service for the 1970 Fraserburgh Lifeboat Disaster will be held at 2pm on Sunday the 19th of January 2020 in the Old Parish Church.
On the 21st of January 1970 the Fraserburgh Lifeboat, the Duchess of Kent capsized while on service 40 miles NE by E of Fraserburgh with the loss of five crew members Coxswain John Stephen, Mechanic Fred Kirkness and William Hadden, James Buchan and James RS Buchan.
Following the Church Service a shorter service will take place at Fraserburgh Lifeboat Station two days later on Tuesday the 21st of January 2020, the actual date of the disaster.
On Sunday we will also have Princess Anne with us.
The most hard working Royal apparently.
If I can get them I will show the photos. The DP insists on carrying on with his Photographic Society's jaunt to Rosehearty. But there will be three lifeboats zooming around the bay for the commemoration. Some sight!

That was a terrible tragedy. Hope you get some relief from your breathlessness soon.
A very sad event. Wonderful that Princess Anne will be there for the service.
The sea is a dangerous place -many people down here have lost there lives. I have seen Princess Anne and the Queen at close quarters in Edinburgh - a long time ago. The Queen mum also drove past me when i was standing at a bus stop and gave a wave - I was hoping for a lift. She had been to the races at Cheltenham just across from our Art College.
Only 4 more sleeps?
Keeping my fingers crossed that you can get some help very soon with your breathlessness.
Love seeing the boats flit back and forth on the sea.
God bless.
Beautiful blue skies x
Lovely photos - especially of the boats! Such bright blue sky and deep blue water! Glad you are getting out! Thanks!
I do hope you soon get some help for your breathing. It would be such a relief for you. X
I do hope you get some relief soon. The sea looked quite calm over your way its still very rough the west side of the country.
