with attitude

Wordpress Blog  
​​Not all who sail hither go thither
Nor all those who wander are lost

Boats that are minded don't dither
Their bilges are safe from the frost
 

Because I choose no fixed abode
Don't think that I cannot abide
To lay my head down and my load
I'm a gypsy come in from the tide
 


I moor or move on as I please
With a lock or a weir on my beam
And I shall roam inlanded seas 
Til I fetch up on Fiddlers Green

the Duchy of Cornwall
Pen Targon Falls are
outside Bokal Harbour
Why those flags?

Pen-Targon's house flags.
Tricolour for Ireland
land of my birth.
Saint Piran's flag for 
the land of my adoption.
The bottom flag is heraldic.
symbolizing Ireland in Cornwall.
Piran was an Irish monk
who came from my
Birthplace
