The Best Place In The World
A Memory of Portsmouth.
This was to me, as a young lad, one of the best places in the whole world!
There was nothing more appealing to me than being at this great vantage point for the Portsmouth Dockyard. I could have stayed there all day watching our British Navy aircraft carriers, battleships, submarines and cruisers contrasted to the masts of our most famous ship of all time, the HMS Victory, watching the ferries plying back and forth to Gosport, feeling the spray from the often rough seas pounding the seawall and blasting up into the air.
Being on the Point was like being on the prow of a ship. I want so badly to go back there and hope someday I can.
My step grandfather, Goldsmith, was a senior man in the dockyard during WW2.
He would have been thrilled to see Pompey win the 2008 FA Cup!!!
