I HAVE A NEW
favourite ship in the Royal Navy! I'm referring, of course, to the HMS Belton, which has won my heart. She was a minesweeper, run aground heroically in the Hebrides in 1974. (
But there was no naval action in Hebrides in 1974! No, but it sounds sort of like the Falkands, and they were only eight years after.
Oh) Incidentally, those interested in my academic work will be gratified to know "Belton is busier than ever", according to the website of the
village of Belton in Lincolnshire. You can also
read about medieval Belton and Victorian Belton, and even visit
Belton House, which has apparently after only four years of entertaining already been put on the tourist map!
