Houghton - The Cumbria Outpost

Don't know how many Houghtons there are in the UK but it would be good to have pictures of Houghtons at Houghtons . Sally x

LITTLE SHIPS

Dad used to speak of his father's boat taking part in the Dunkirk rescue. I did ask him the name of the boat, but stupidly I did not write it down and I have forgotten it. Does anyone have any recollection of the name? Is there a photograph anywhere?

The Association of Dunkirk Little Ships has a website and the list of craft taking part can be found here:http://www.adls.org.uk/

MY BIRTHDAY

My birthday yesterday, was spent on the beach. The dogs loved it and were plain tuckered out last night. You can see why....

Blooms from the trees along the shoreline

A grand day out and a lovely way to celebrate my 54th birthday.
