Before the sun was up this morning, and it never bothered to get up in truth, I wandered out to catch the early worm. My eating habits are not what they were! Passing one of the crows so intent on removing a snail from its shell it allowed me within four feet of himself before he looked up, somewhat irritably, and glared as I moved away. Not much else moved even though the market was opening up. This line of garages manages to look almost derelict and because nobody had bothered to rise I took this snap. Usually the doors are open and mechanics are very busy chatting while attempting to work out how much to overcharge the car owner who's precious beast is undergoing surgery there. It may well be these are just the workshops of the building on the right that constantly offers large cars at bargain prices. They do not mention such cars are cheap to buy and horrendous to run! Petrol, repairs, spare parts all cost a fortune, that is why muggins (always men who have watched 'Top Gear') falls for the cheap prices. I would like to take better pics of these but some folks like to call the constabulary for some reason.
As winter is closing in let's have a warmer picture for Saturday night. 'Off Scarborough,' by Ernest Dade. Very nice and makes me want to go to sea again. It's not that I once went to sea, it's just that I wanted to go to sea once before. I didn't, it was too cold.

If I thought that it would do any good, I would start a petition to have you put out to sea, but you would just float back in with the tide while being even saltier than before, I suspect. No, that would not do at all.
Fish, I hope you get sea sick!
Actually I don't think it looks at all warm, although very lovely blue sea and obviously impossible that it really is off Scarborough - unless there's somewhere in the Caribbean called Scarborough.
I like the derelict garages ..... sometimes I think I AM a derelict garage ...!!!

@OP: My father was a sailor when he was younger. That's how I ended up in Washington State - he was stationed at Bremerton with the US Navy.
@Jenny: No it could be in the right time of year. Color of the sea is determined by weather and there is a brief warm season in England.
Jenny, I trust the artist! :)
RDG, You look far from derelict to me.
Jeremey, Dad a navy man? When?
1979-1985, US Navy of course.
