Stay with me on this one Kathie; its says Pirates to me. I see the cave & the burning torches but it seems to say tall sail ships to me also. It looks like the crows nests on fire too.
I hope its not just me who sea’s tall ships!! xx

Thanks Robin, oh yes, it also has that pirate feel to it and burning ship, mmmm…perhaps a memory from a previous life LOL!!! Arrrgg me hearrrrrties!!!
