Got this all working. More of a bit of a brush up for me on ML style 
functional coding, which I have not really done for 20 years. I have spent 
my career almost exclusively working in Java land.

The next step I think will be to take the navigation bar, and the clock 
widget and organize the code in such a way that the widget is a re-usable 
component that I can embed in the navigation bar. So far my nav bar is just 
HTML, and I only set up Elm to work in a separate div further down the page 
body. Now that I have seen the Elm Materialized Design Lite library, I 
think I may give that a go for doing the nav bar and putting my clock 
widget onto it, as it looks pretty slick.

Still feeling like Elm is fantastic. Not quite got to groking the 
model/update part of it yet, but starting to get to grips with various ways 
of putting together the view.
