Sunday 10th June

Today a high ranking delegation from Trinity House came to inspect the lighthouse. They arrived on their boat the 'Patricia'. This reminded me of photos from the 50s when the visiting 'dignitaries' were welcomed ashore by the keepers in their best uniforms. The flags (now redundant) were raised and the lighthouse cleaned up in preparation for the top brass. Now that the lighthouse is automated and unmanned, this is less ceremonial, but hopefully they found all was well and in good order.
