I thought I would post this here rather than in the YouTube video topic.
I took some video clips in the harbour area last night and have edited some of them into a short (approx. 6-minute) video. Although I filmed it in Ultra HD-4K, the editing program only saves them as 1080 HD, but still looks OK.

I noticed the 'Sea Fox' didn't waste any time getting through the bridge Boatbuilder. Good timing on your part to be there when the bridge lifted.

It was a pity the Waveney Gymnastics Club in Notley Road was shut when I arrived as I just fancied a swing about on the parallel bars and a bit of pommel horsing followed by a balance on the beam. Maybe next time... :)

My wife was with me when I took the photo Kerch and she mentioned to me that her mother used to go ballroom dancing there...I thought the wife must have been mistaken as I didn't think it was big enough. I told the wife what you had written and she just gave me a smug grin :( :( :) :)

The downstairs room was quite a big one Mel easily big enough for ballroom lessons I used to do ballet lessons in a large room at Reddiches Restaurant which is where EACH charity shop is now in Kirkley opposite where Harley's used to be

My wife and I had our wedding reception there, 127 guests (some not invited ) and some did not turn up? but he a memorable evening, and I have since found out that the marriage licence unlike your driving licence has NO expiry date :lol: :oops:
