Christmas Dip
Scream! Scream! No, that’s not the sound of children opening their presents. It’s the shrieks of the brave swimmers of Brighton and Hove taking their annual dip in The Channel on Christmas Morning! Happy Christmas!!
Queuing For Santa
Putting in those last minute requests…
Over the West Pier
The sky today was rather queer…
Intimidation
Take your beady eye off me. I will never fit in your belly.
Autumn beach
Whatever next!
I must have swallowed too much salt water as I am hallucinating sun umbrellas and swimmers on Brighton Beach at 7 in the evening!
Across the tracks
A damp day in Brighton’s North Laine.
London to Brighton Veteran car run 2013
“I severed my arm off in the engine the 5th time we broke down. This reduction in weight was excellent luck. Particularly when my passengers had to get out and push the last 2 miles. All in all a jolly smooth run this year.”
The RAC’s London to Brighton veteran car run has been taking place since 1927. It commemorates the ‘Emancipation run’, which celebrated the introduction of a maximum 14mph speed limit, and removed the need to have someone walk in-front of your vehicle.
Thankfully, there were so many women at the wheel, that the compere exhausted his supply of “lady driver” jokes.
I love the dedication and sunny optimism of the enthusiastic entrants. They are overjoyed when their beautifully maintained vehicles manage to complete the run. What an antidote to modern day expectations of technology.
