"Catch the Wind"
Donovan
1964/1965

Donovan in the 1960s was said to be the UK's answer to Bob Dylan.

(The story behind the song is very romantic, with a happy ending)

@HedgehogCabin Do you mind sending me the hospital address by DM?
I promise to safeguard it.
My daughter loves hedgehogs & is coming to Hampshire soon for a week. She'd love to visit you & we'd both leave a gift for the patients' care.

@WaterwayDreamer Wow. He must have shock absorbers for his spine!
My sister's bloke registered a patent of the hull shape of his RIBs. His current 1 has 2 huge outboard motors, when he gets to Cowes it's before he left Langstone Harbour (so it seems when I'm on board lol)

@Sound_Luxury The combined intellect on this planet was halved when he died in 2018......

@WaterwayDreamer Did your Dad go sailing on the briny sea?
Llangollen is a bit remote from the nearest Coast.

[Baltic Dutchman @OakWoodMM]

9 bob note was one of my Dad's favourites too.
Also "As qu**r as a concrete parachute"!
Like L P Hartley said, it was a foreign country, they did things differently there !

@WaterwayDreamer I bet you sang out loud too!

@JacquiDeevoy1 That's a touching story.

@JacquiDeevoy1 @hollowmoon The caption should be "Pensive" or maybe "Penny for them, Jacqui"

@PaulStillgoing @MCRobredz @JacquiDeevoy1 They can't "guilt-trip" me, I have no conscience.
It must be so, they keep calling me far right......

@WaterwayDreamer "Fat cars for fat people" says my Irish friend !!!

[Baltic Dutchman @OakWoodMM]

@WaterwayDreamer Yes, it's a shame.

@KarenSh57445497 No worries, he said he was sitting on the "po"......

@Suffragent_ @hobowithagrin14 He never had to pay at Harrods.......

@WaterwayDreamer My racing boss at that time was a handling engineer for Nissan in the day job.
Bill told me many times that Ford dynamics were superior to all the Germans, BMW, Audi, Mercedes.
Porsche of course didn't count, like Citroén they are fab & break all the rules

@WaterwayDreamer @PGSound_Tim The uncertainty is kinda thrilling, will she be there or not, if she is, is it Sophia or Sophie, never a dull moment (except when you're missing!)
Are you saying you've forsaken the boat for a fortnight?
