It was a great trip as always even with the water temperature on the chilly side . Friday was a bit overcast but the sea state was fine and we had a trip out to the Farnes at Bush Rock , somewhere I had not visited before . The visibility was a bit poor but all around you you could see the life without the need of a torch . With only one boat and eight divers we were coming back in to change tanks for the afternoon dive . We were finding notes left by the parking master-at-arms trying to make us pay more for the privilege of staying on the harbour . A fault rectified by explaining the money put in was two pound coins and a two pound coin , it had not recognised the two pound coin as is but as a one pound coin ,even with no three pound parking fees. The next day came out bright and sunny so the Somali was sought and dived with relish . The vis. was just like before but did not curtail our enjoyment . Another trip out to the Farnes finished off the day nicely . Another note from the master-at-arms for Henry’s van again this time his dad had forgotten to put the parking ticket on the van but had it in his pocket .  The evenings were a joy spent on Heather’s lawn in the sunshine drinking a few beers and the like finishing up in the Pack Horse for a meal . The last day bloomed just as good as the day before and we went off to the Farnes to the Knivestone on some wreckage there . It was decided to finish after this dive and toddle off home  but not before another note was found from you know who saying we had not paid enough . I know it was paid because I paid it , the coins were getting stuck in the machine and I had to use a fifth pound to push the fourth one in .We didn’t bother going to tell them as we had had enough and just drove home . Great weekend !!!
