It stayed at Long's Wharf at the Thames Barrier and was opened as a Museum untill 1998. Then it was moved to Folkstone and again opened untill 2004.After that it was moved to the River Medway and is waiting to be re-homed,the Submarine is now listing to one side and has a hole in.Hopefully these problems can be fixed and the Submarine can once again be opened as a Museum.

beautifull odd eyed cat bubu

Bubu, a beautiful odd-eyed cat, spent some time at the shelter, but it did not take long for someone to fall in love with this beauty and offer a loving home. Bubu has two different colored eyes. One is blue and the other one is amber. They look like two shiny marbles. Isn't she simply gorgeous?
