I'm lucky enough to be able to walk to work when the mood takes me as it did the other day... it's around 4 miles. Some of my walk in by the sea...BELOW ... JUST AFTER 6 AM THE CLOCK TOWER TOILETS HAVE JUST BEEN OPENED!

 BELOW... I CHANGED TO A BLACK AND WHITE SETTING AS IT WAS SUCH A GREY DAY.....

SKODA & ..... SEAHAM

BACK IN 1973 WHEN SKODAS WERE SKODAS

AND VW WAS VW, MY FATHER BOUGHT HIS ONE AND ONLY EVER NEW CAR.

A SKODA 100MB...I THINK THE PRICE WAS £825.

THE COLOUR WAS HARVEST GOLD (ORANGE).

WE WENT OUT ONE SUMMER'S NIGHT FOR A DRIVE AND ENDED UP AT SEAHAM.

THIS WAS MY FIRST VISIT TO SEAHAM.

WE HAD A LOOK AROUND THE DOCK AREA AND FOUND THE PAPERS BELOW

ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE SITE OF AN EARLIER BONFIRE.

"KEEP THEM, THEY'RE OLD" DAD SAID.

I DID AND HAVE.
