How exciting. Have discovered the following about the land around our mooring:

Turner lived there

Pocahontas lived there (really!)

Shelley lived there

Jess Eddie, inventor of the catwalk lived there.

John Quincy Adams (US President) lived there

There have been two important battles there, one involving King Canute and one involving Caesar.

Well. If it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for the Turtles. And to think I was worrying about leaving the rich history of the East End behind.

I really will miss the ghost of John Merrick though.
