    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Are you not popping up to see them at Gloucester?

    We are near Slimbridge. Might pop up depending on what else is going on. I may be driving horses and riders around the countryside

    Would live to see you.

    Here are a couple of Photos sent to me today by the Port Admiral, who also doubles as the Gloucester City Town Crier. Mr Mayatt has kindly given me permission to use these in my AAR's for Admiral Pound.

    The lower one is just the sort of thing one would expect to see over the hall stairwell in his Mansion.

    He makes a fine looking Admiral, Rob! May I suggest that you try to lighten the images slightly.

    Thanks Dave.
    I have decided he needs a lot of work on his background too so that I can present him in a series of different situations.
