Local History at the Fisheries Museum

We saw beautiful models of inshore fishing villages
Wild Thing loved the model of the fisherman's shack.
They played at fishing from a dorry after seeing a big one fully outfitted inside.
All the hustle and bustle and livelihood making at the museum seemed far more exciting than the reality we saw at Three Fathoms Harbour (photo is of the "Fisherman's Reservation" - that is actually what it is called. This is where Papa Pan spent his childhood with his step dad, back when it hustled and bustled with livelihood making.)

Sounds like a great trip; btw, I love your header photo. The light and your subject are just beautiful, :-)

amazing - though I'm so squeamish about fish in tanks! It's the frantic look they give you when you clean their tank and have to fish them out of the water!
