roman in the gloamin'

another day, another outing...

where am i?

italy?



er... no!

i'm at that place where england and scotland used to meet, marked by what's known as hadrian's wall and here i am sitting on top of it...


oh, all right...

i suppose the line down the middle is a bit of a give away! the truth is i was killing time outside the british museum, while brian and david went round the hadrian exhibition.


personally i wondered, once they'd gone in, whether someone as old as brian would ever be allowed out again! but guess what....?

wet behind the ears

i like brighton. everybody does. it's fun ------ when it's nice! i mean, when you can laze about on the beach in the sun...


there can be the odd disappointment: such as when you don't quite measure up as being tall enough to go on one of the rides on the pier...


...but there's still the good old merry-go-round...


...the opportunity to have your photo taken with an odd-looking mermaid...


...or a chance to take a spin with noddy and tessie bear.


but this is my one souvenir snap from my trip to brighton last weekend - playing gooseberry on the boys' anniversary day out. they may have found it romantic, I just found it damp...


frankly, i'd have had more fun staying at home playing i-spy with bodge and the gang - which, by the way (being a bright - as opposed to a brighton - bunny) i always, win!
