Usually quite well, I’m 79 next month, not very fit, Can’t walk very far,  got lots of free time ( especially in Lock Down ) I’m really lucky I have the ability to do this, and I enjoy it. This only took under 2 hours. Long may I be able to do it!.

Ps it’s also nice that other people enjoy it as well.

Precisely. You can do things with a paint brush, that you can’t do with a camera.

As you say there wasn’t much traffic then and even less people with a camera.

Thanks. Alway fancied living on a Narrow Boat.

When I was still at school, (a few years ago) A friend's brother had an Airborne Lifeboat, complete!, bought ‘government surplus'? At that time (1950s) the Breakers Yard at Inverkeithing was selling Ships lifeboats for £1 a foot!
