Look what I found on my way to the library!

This little lady sneaked into our Wapping Wharf this morning and
caused something of a stir.  Many people were there to stare with cameras clicking from every vantage point.  It cost 100 million and is to be delivered to it's anonymous owner in the West Indies next week.  I was appalled and disgusted at that kind of money being spent for the gratification of some rich nobody but as we drove home we discussed the merits if any of such a beast.
Well!  let's think - it needed designers, marine engineers, ship builders, Interior designers, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, glaziers, tilers, carpet fitters, upholsters, furnishers, a crew of 20 people and lots more I cannot think about.
The visit to Bristol is it's first port of call from the ship yard where it was built and where it waits for a few days to take on supplies
before sailing to be delivered to it's owners.
All the suppliers in Bristol are rubbing their hands at this unexpected customer and vans were lined up on the keyside this morning      morning.   All the coffee shops were packed with on lookers having a quick cuppa before going about their other business.
So perhaps it is true to say MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND and I should stop being so sniffy.
She is a really beautiful lady and God Bless all who sail in her.
