Those beach pics where taken on the same beach that i used to play on endlessly as a kid. Such a funny beach, a typical british pebbly beach but with the odd cross-channel swimmer doing practice widths of the port. Big old ferry boats in the background where pretty much all of us had jobs in the summer. HA! such memories 😉

Speaking of jobs, Joel, who is the young man in that last picture, lady friend is working for the playscheme run by the local council for kids to hang out at though the summer. I mentioned that I did that for three years when i was in my teens, ‘ah yes..i said..but that was along time ago, i think i did it in 87,88,89…..

‘so yeah…thats like 20 years ago!!!”

YIKES!!!

we first took isaac to the national railway museam when he was just over 2 years old, we have been back every year since and this year he was really specific on what he wanted to see…

the mallard

the turntable

and the bullet train…

and until we had seen them all he was not a happy bunny…he is one focused little boy.
