Summer Catch-up

On 5 July, the NHS celebrated its 70th birthday--George dressed up for the party at nursery



The University's staff festival had the miniature steam train again

George loved it!


Whitby had a Captain Cook festival to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Cook's first voyage to the South Seas on the HM Bark Endeavour, complete with a replica of his ship





On board the Endeavour



"Do just once what others say you can't do and you will never pay attention to their limitations again."

Cook's quarters--note the hammock!


The Captain's table








They had a birds of prey exhibit on deck








This one is a replica schooner from the Battle of Trafalgar, the HMS Pickle





We went for a ride on the Bark Endeavour Whitby, a replica ship (40% of original ship's size) that we went on 9 years ago, the first time we went to Whitby!
