Not that these two crew needed rescuing!!
In the bookshop at the British Library there is a series of books called "The Adventures of Tim", in beautiful mid-twentieth century colouring. It makes me wonder whether that's where Dominicus got his name.
They are classics and I know Tim would have loved them.
Tim was brave, and the best person to have with you if you were at sea on a treacherous boat, lost in the desert, or marooned on a rocky island.
"The Captain would tell him about his voyages and sometimes give him a sip of his grog, which made Tim want to be a sailor more than ever."
Vale Dominicus Helmut Alexander Mueller. 1952-2012
Lovely post and a beautiful photo, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo, I wonder if Tim ever read those books as a young child ??.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but am checking with Barbara.
ReplyDeleteLovely words, dear Kath, which truly recognize Tim's strengths...xx
