I was just asked if I was “ready for Christmas”.

It is the 23rd of November. I’m not even ready for this afternoon.

An 18th C. sailors plate had a rim around called a fiddle. If you had dishonestly got more than your fair share the food would lap over the fiddle, hence the phrase ‘On the fiddle’ if you had enough, you’d had a ‘Square meal’ due to the shape used to stop them rolling

The Olive tree of Vouveson on the island of Crete, Greece, is one of the oldest olive trees in the world.

Scientists from the University of Crete have estimated it to be 4,000 years old, which means that, when it sprouted, the last mammoths were still walking on Earth, someone in China was discovering bronze casting and the seventh Egyptian dinasty was declining.

The Minoan civilization was thriving and its monumental architecture was adorning the island of Crete. The first stones of the Palace of Minos at Knossos which inspired the myth of the Minotaur were laid.

This tree saw the humans deeds for thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to the artificial intelligence and, possibly the most amazing thing, it continues to produce olives at every season.

A nickname for a @RoyalNavy sailor is a matelot. The word originates from several languages’ word for comrade. It’s as fitting today as it was then, all are welcome. It’s also obviously linked to mate, used as a friend or even rank in the past but best used as part of Shipmate!

The comeback of dreams for Atherton after taking time off to become a mum. Now her daughter gets to witness first-hand just how incredible she is!

"Mummy big jumps!" 👏

An “old captain” remembers his ship’s company on an historic day - a fine example of a leader who cares.
This message went this morning to those who served with him in the @RoyalNavy onboard HMS Bronington, where I was privileged to be his second in command.

Fantastic day and outstanding effort from all those involved! #GSTK #Coronation #RoyalNavy
