Tall Ships

This weekend in Greenwich there is going to be a tall ships festival. I popped down to Woolwich today to see if any had arrived, as that is where some of the events are taking place. I could really get used to not working when everyone else is. (Well schools at least.) It was really quiet apart from the massive amounts of construction work going on, though there was lots of preparation for the festival too-just being done quietly! It was a lovely morning and I was happy to see some ships moored. There was lots of activity on one of them, unloading boxes. I thought maybe it was some delivery work or something who knows?

From a distance I thought this ship had a crocodile figure head. Even in the zoomed in shot it looks like that. But it is a dinghy. I wonder if it is meant to look like a crocodile.

The steering wheel makes the eye. 

The trusty ferry felt left out so I took a photo of that too!

The Tate and Lyle factory. A building I love. I was looking at the photo earlier and love the part to the right. 

Just abstract shapes.

I took a few Bleeding London photos and plan to go out again tomorrow if no work is forthcoming. I have got up early each day and then sat there worrying that the phone will ring! I am going to start ringing them from Monday but this week is, unsurprisingly, quiet. The children only went back yesterday and nurseries and many reception classes will be doing home visits or interviews, so that has allowed me one more week of holiday.
One more boat-not a tall ship. Is it a dredger? It has a crane on it. I am not at all knowledgeable about boats. It has a strange name and a stylishly dressed crew, which is why I liked it.
