I just want to say that I accompanied a busload of disabled people today on a bus trip to the Sea Life Centre in Hull - called the Deep.

And we had a great time. The local people were really pleasant to us and helpful and polite.

Nothing prepared me for the actual building that The Deep is housed in. It is a stunningly beautiful location . From the observatory at the top - you can see the whole bay - from Spurn Point to Immingham and there is a fabulous view of the Humber Bridge -its entire span.

As it is the hometown of The Watersons - I thought maybe there should be some traditional folk music there reflecting the seafaring folk of Hull who contributed so much to our folk culture.

Also as the home of The Hull truck theatre co. - there must be a fair number of actors around the place. I couldn't help feeling - maybe somebody could be a narrator, in the same way that there is on the hoe in Plymouth - but perhaps they do that somewhere else in Hull.

anyway. well done done Hull!
