Luckily I was away at the time. The beach is bad enough on a sunny weekend, but this was crazy. I believe it was the only day on which there was no alcohol left in the whole town.
What a wonderful idea Crozier! But half the wall space would be for Yorkshire women like Judi Dench, Amy Johnson, The Bronte sisters, Betty Boothroyd, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Mel B, Nicola Adams, Helen Sharman and Barbara Taylor-Bradford.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
he's from Bromley, not Brighton.
ReplyDeleteHe's lived here since the age of 18, and still does.
DeleteThe happening was on Brighton beach. He mentions it a couple of times in the video.
ReplyDeleteSo many people!! Too many for me. He certainly was popular.

DeleteWhen I visited The National Portrait Gallery, they had a portrait of Norman Cook but not Captain James Cook! Outrageous!
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is strange, perhaps you need your own dedicated portrait gallery for Yorkshiremen.

DeleteCook could always occupy the other wall.
DeleteWe would need space for Andrew Marvell, Harold Wilson, Joe Cocker and Arthur Scargill.
DeleteYou've forgotten 'The Ripper'.
DeleteHa-ha! Nice one!
