Sub-Med

I have no doubt that during the weekend there will have been a submarine bobbing about in the water just off the coast at Glossa, as well as a memorial service at the church of the BVM-as-a-youngster, to heroic naval lives lost.

But I'm not based in the Med any more, this is the submarine which lurks permanently in the mud of the Medway. I have no idea why it is there, whether or not it is symbolic of any acts of heroism, whether or not there is a regular wreath-laying service of thanksgiving, or whether it is being gradually dismantled in some way for some purpose, but it twinkles in the sunshine just as well as the little one.
