Enjoyed this so much on train journey home this evening.

Listening to Radio4 today about the shipping forecast?
Here's a ship 'Sailing By' the Longships Lighthouse, off Lands End in Cornwall - it's in the Lundy sea area.
19th November 2024.
In 1974 a helipad was built on top of the light & it was automated in 1988.

I just made up some lyrics to 'Sailing By'. They consist almost entirely of the words 'sailing by'. I amaze myself sometimes. #SailingBY
