The polished brass in the engine room is a wonderful sight

and we enjoyed smoked salmon sandwiches in the restaurant, well worth a visit :first

It's a tiny section of the Royal yacht Brittania, now retired and on display at the docks near Edinburgh

Ah - that explains it!

I always knew that Petunia must have Royal Blue blood in her veins.

I wonder what colour that actually is on the Series 1?

I wouldn’t use the blue S1 as any sort of example of that model.  :shakeinghead
