Lighting the Vital Spark - HFF!

Sunlight on the Vital Spark Clyde Puffer moored at Inveraray Harbour, Argyll and Bute HFF!

I have added Amanda Cook's 'Pieces', not an obvious choice but for the lyrics:-
."..Your love is a fire, burning bright for me. It's not just a spark, it's not just a flame. Your love is a light that all the world will see"

Thanks to Rabbit for another musical link, - sorry Rabbit I can only find the Clydesiders version of
'Inveraray Summer Nights'
