Sammy's Come Fly With Me and Eric's Day Flashback

Before the flashback I have a special post for my dear friend Sammy.
A special day has been made for him by Madi and Easy.




I have taken Sammy to the Mayflower Steps on the Barbican. The steps mark the approximate spot from where the Mayflower left England taking the Pilgrim Fathers to life in the New World.

The Mayflower and the Speedwell originally set sail for the New World from Southampton, but after sailing 300 miles off Lands End there were problems with the Speedwell and they returned to Plymouth. The Speedwell was found to be unseaworthy so the Mayflower sailed alone to Cape Cod.

Plymouth was heavily bombed during the Second World War, but the Barbican area survived with it's medieval streets and narrow alleyways and Elizabethan buildings.

It has been a great honour for me to show my dear forever friend a small part of Plymouth.
Love you always, Sammy.



******************************************************************************

This week the flashback comes from December 2010 and is called:

Walking in the Fields.

Eric: These pictures are from just before it got really cold and we were still going out for walks in the fields.

Flynn: It was not long after the Beans came back from their holidays, and we were glad to get out and stretch our legs again.

and to just sit and survey everything.

We checked for introoders.

and mousies.

Flynn: It was good to feel the dirt under my tummy.

Eric: Checking smells and nomming grass, what more can a mancat ask for.

  10. Sammy is going to travel the length and breadth of the UK today. He will love seeing the Mayflower Steps, for sure. After Plymouth I do believe he is flying to see me in Northern Scotland.

  12. Oh Flynn what a wonderful thing to get to see in purrrson! The Mayflower Steps were the "launch" for a very important sail from Plymouth. I'm so excited to be here with you too - my dear ginger pal. Thanks for showing me the sights. I'll never forget it. Also, Eric's flashback today makes me wish I had a big green field to play in - I'm sure I will see one soon (!).

    Love you forever, Sammy
