Would that be Attleborough beach? La Norfolk Profonde.

Do you live anywhere near Seasick Steve?

(NB Gordon Streeter now admitting to wearing stilettos when he was younger....)

You would have thought that he could afford a full set of guitar strings ?
As for wearing them when I was younger, I never stopped !

Thought SS Steve lived in Norway- didn't know he had a home in UK as well? You mean a celebrity lives in Norfolk?

We ventured to Winterton on Sea for walk. Took the horseless carriage rather than pony and trap.

Joking apart spent as much time queuing for car park and cafe later when in need of a cuppa. Amazing what a bit of sunshine on Jan 1 does!

Does ten register on that kind of scale?

spent the evening with neighbours who have kids, loads of teenagers making us feel old drinking what looked like dishwasher rinse aid . . . Champagne seemed like a very civilised option then! a decent breakfast has helped and a walk in this glorious sunshine should finish the recuperation job. HNY all

reeling out the posh stuff again Gordon, My old mini van didn't have head lining . . . mind you, by the time I could afford a car I had my own flat. Gymnastic contortions became purely optional then

Strongest drink I had last night was a mug of hot milk! When I woke up it was past midnight, I couldn't be bothered to have a proper drink so just went to bed. Getting old?

Happy New Year all!

Blimey, I woke up this morning to realise it was 2013 already! Last thing I remember it was still 2011!

Most strenuous thing I've done today is walk from the car to the restaurant for a celebratory luncheon, and I'll walk from the car into the Barge Inn for a celebratory pint a little later on. Then it's serious training for taking on Delta in the Woodcote 10k, maybe that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays one and all, it's back to real life soon!

Happy New Year Sir! Some would shorten 'pigs fly' to 'piggy' but as we haven't met I'll keep it polite and PC

Guess distances to travel does depend on the size of your country as well as other things! I know in US they are used to covering internal mileages to race that would get me to the Algarve- which I happily do. The English Channel proves a psychological barrier to some, but we are all different in what we perceive to be a long distance!
