Sunday 5th September
In answer to Mr Griggs' query about our interesting day today - well it was rather quiet in fact with another visit to the freaky precincts of Weston-Super-Mud/Mare - not to view the Darwinian dropouts but rather to have a gawk at the sand sculpture exhibition down on the beach which was very entertaining.
Larger than life renderings of such diverse personages from Wallace & Gromit to Maggie Thatcher & Prince Charles done Spitting Image style were just great.
Sitting by the English seaside eating mushy peas and chips on the promenade while watching the passing freak-show provided an hour or two of fascination for us.
Anyone who is into manufacturing and/or selling and/or maintaining the frail people's motorised buggies must be worth a mint regardless of where you go - there are thousands of the things.
Eminently practical for sure but one cannot help noticing that the average age of people around you seems far higher than that of South Africa hence, I suppose, the need for these electrical perambulatory devices which Tracy (my ever irreverent sister-in-law) has dubbed NDW's.
When I asked her what that meant, she wickedly replied: Nearly Dead Wagons....
And another day shuffles to a close here in sometimes sunny, sometimes overcast Somerset in the south west of Mud Island and you know I have to say - not a bad day at all.
Watch this space for photos which will be appearing soon.
