Peace, well, a cessation of hostilities, has been declared.
The Italians get to watch their ships being measured up by a navy with a
reputation for 'insane aggression' who are reading their mail who are now in
a position to name their own start date...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
