I did something this morning that I haven't done since I was 7 years old!

I was on overtime at work last night and when I work nights I usually go for a walk at or around 6-6.30 in the morning (My colleagues have called it my knicker pinching walk!)

Anyhow. For some reason I cannot get Cable to play on my smartphone at the moment (dunno why) so I clicked on my Caroline application on my phone, plugged in the headphones and went on walkabout.

As I got half way along Newry Beach here at Holyhead, I suddenly remembered, the last time I walked around Newry Beach listening to Caroline (albeit the North (proper Caroline!) ship) was back in 1967.

Hell! THAT took me back!

..... very similiar to me when I play the historic RNI-recordings I downloaded from Martin's page or Robin Westhoff's LINKs in my cabrio - I think I have about 70 hours of RNI on my stick now. - déjà vu (senti) effect ...
Unfortunately my car-radio isn't that old anymore though if I could use the radio in my Oldie (Wartburg) it would be from that time - would need an FM-car-transmitter for that....

It just brought back so much nostalgia.

hmmm.... Coastie one sign of getting old(er) is when you start thinking more of the past than of of the future .... are we approaching that stage ??????

I probably am, especially when I'm walking along Newry Beach, looking at the Breakwater and can vividly remember the day the Fredericia rounded the Breakwater to collect her pilot.

Listening to Caroline in stereo is just NOT the same somehow though.
