Inspiration .. Mauretania - and the Storms of life ... work in progress

The Mauretania - work in progress

The inspiration for my latest stamp collage came when we visited Amble in Northumberland last year on Mauretania day!











 Every year in July  the people of "the friendliest port" remember  this beautiful ship when she sailed  by the town on her last voyage before being broken up. (see poster on right ).

While there I attended Cafe Church where I was welcomed in with tea and cake and some lovely chat with locals and other holiday makers.
The informal service was held under a gazebo and we  shared stories on a travel theme, and sang this hymn, "Will your anchor hold in the storms of Life?"   I hadn't heard it before, but now it seems a very good message!
