From a card photo dated 17th July 1903, posted one hundred and twelve years ago yesterday. If you look in the foreground even in those days tynebuoy, hippo, magoonigal and the parrot were out chasing ships, it looks like it's the old hippo on the oars, and rightly so!!!

Been going round in circles ever since.

Typical, working like a slave even then.

Much more sensible to be on the little Steam Launch.............
