Just had a similar conversation with my DIL- she was saying that wide, flapping trousers get in the way when trying to climb stairs. I said ( being a fan of floor length skirts) I now understand why in all these historical dramas, you see young ladies gently lift their skirts a few inches above the ground,after I tried climbing the stairs in a long skirt, trod on skirt, skirt ends up around knees, and me on all fours on the stairs! And not a drop of alcohol in sight, rofl. Good job it was at home, and only Doug behind me, lol.And fortunately, no camera phone to hand, either.

Honestly, have you been following me around to get this bad at getting in to boat? Unfortunately my debacle was in broad daylight in front of an audience when we did our Italy 7cities in 7 days trip! Not only that, we were racing a high tide which I found quite terrifying (a total landlubber!) I got pitying looks from some of the others on the tour for days after!! Still, you did get a long chat with your cousin and those tall ships look brilliant!

Like you, I was SO thrilled. Of course, I didn't get to join them in the water. Only got to see them on shore.<br /><br />Second, I have been on a boat to watch the fireworks. I have a friend who lived in Huntington Beach, which is near Los Angeles. He took me on his boat to watch the fireworks one 4th of July. It was magical and totally awesome, much like you described it.<br /><br />It sounds like you had a simply WONDERFUL time with your cousins, and I can't wait to read the rest of the story!Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-36744693385793725132014-09-05T21:16:06.122+01:002014-09-05T21:16:06.122+01:00There's just something about spending time on ...There's just something about spending time on or near water, even if you're not really a water person. So glad you had a good time. <br /><br />I don't get into or out of things gracefully, myself, either. My friend who drove a pickup truck at the time would look oddly at me every time I struggled to get up into the darned thing. I do think being short has something to do with it! lol Laurahttp://bookworm.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-39469353144980614362014-09-05T20:24:32.583+01:002014-09-05T20:24:32.583+01:00Sounds absolutely wonderful - and from a land-lubb...Sounds absolutely wonderful - and from a land-lubber that is saying something. Despite being a Pisces I am not into water. Get up to my tum in the sea and I am taking deep breaths, over my chest and I am in panic mode and breathing is more than laboured.<br />Well, the photo (are you really in the yacht on the water?) is beautiful, the fireworks sound idyllic but the thoughts of you landing heavily in the boat because you couldn't see the bottom and climbing out on all fours describes how I would be. Take note dear Julia, you are not alone in undignified entrances and exits from boats.<br />Hugs, Neet xxNeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279125547309537517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-76315187722851235942014-09-05T19:44:25.123+01:002014-09-05T19:44:25.123+01:00Hi Julia,

I imagine anyone spying your disembarking style would assume that the wine and the "motion of the ocean" caught up with you!<br /><br />The photo is amazing, by the way. I love those ships with the wonderful masts (or whatever they are called - maybe sails?).<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Kay<br />505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-2934188774080346492014-09-05T18:54:24.868+01:002014-09-05T18:54:24.868+01:00Thank goodness you put trousers on:) LOL

I am sorry,but I am laughing to myself at the vision you have raised.... I was hoping to see the Tall Ships in London tomorrow as I am in London for a Charles Dickens walking tour and then we're visiting the Tower (actually inside, not just the poppies this time) so there may not be time to get to Greenwich too... so I hope you have more photos to share...
