Re: Saturday Good Morning
Good morning all. Did you miss me yesterday? Whaddya mean, no? I went off to Bournemouth by coach ( on a sudden whim) to see the Air Festival. Had an urge to see my beloved Red Arrows again, and it was my first air show since losing Mum.
Bought a senior coachcard the day before, researched times and prices (1/3d off with the card, which cost a tenner, hope to go off on more jollies), then up at 6am, to get up to London for 9am.
Lovely ride down (and back actually), long walk to the beach (phew), but I did it on the cheap with my own food/drink, and a ground sheet to sit on the sand.
Got very cross with people walking right in front of me while filming, or one woman flicking her hair, but had a nice day.
Almost bought a brochure but thought £6 was scandalous.
Caught the 18.40 back, into London by 9, but after waiting for a bus at MY end of the tube, not home till after 10. Quick shower (had soooo much sand in my hair), very welcome cup of tea (water and coffee all day, and no didn't buy a drink out), decided to put washing on (very unlike me so late), finally in to bed 11.30.
Enjoyed my inpromptu trip to the south coast, but do ache today. Walked down to the beach from East Cliff, not realising that at first I was right by the cliff lift!! Only found out when the chap on the tannoy mentioned Red Arrows commentator had used it. Deffo used it to get back up!
