Is there still some disagreement about what to do with Bluebird, there was some argument between the family and the people that pulled it out of the water.

I thought they'd agreed to allow the local museum to have the remnants whilst the guy that researched and found it could do the restoration. "They" being the wife, daughter et al; meanwhile his sister wanted it all left to lie: Cap'n, ship etc etc....

But it's been a while and my memory isn't what it used to be ;)

I've seen Mallard at York. A thing of absolute beauty.

Sounds as if the dispute was still rumbling on last year though with some progress

Yes, I thought it was ongoing, just not in the news lately.

Calling a song thrush a shitty lover of honey is unwarranted and inaccurate.

People are getting confused with Adele again, I think.
