Goodbye Shoreham Footbridge. Hello Adur Ferry Bridge

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s lovely to see you again.        The imminent opening of the new footbridge, (christened the Adur Ferry Bridge), is a major topic of conversation on the Beach. Sadly, it’s usually in disparaging terms.       As we know, the old footbridge was in constant use.  Being… Continue reading…

“Everyone’s addicted to screens!”

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s lovely to see you again. If you’re new, welcome. Come on in and make yourself at home. There’s plenty of room for all. In my last blog, I wrote about the night we realised that our 8 year-old had become addicted to screens. Whilst I neither named him… Continue reading…

Kids addicted to screens.

Hello and welcome to my Birthday blog. It’s lovely to see you again. Now that I’m comfortably settled into middle age, it would be rude not to have a moan, so mine is about screens. I’m not fussy which ones; computer screens, mobile phone screens, DS screens, TV screens, all types of screens really, except windscreens.… Continue reading…

Whoosh! There goes another target.

Hello and welcome to my blog.Y’know I wanted to complete my next chapter before the end of the summer holidays? Well, as my Grandma used to say, “Who wants, never gets!

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s nice to see you. It’s always tricky trying to write during the summer holidays. Routine’s abandoned and finding forms of entertainment becomes the new priority. So, whilst Tom is at his intensive swimming lesson, I’ve got just enough time to tell you about my current project, a non-fiction… Continue reading…

What makes us human?

Hello, and welcome to hot and sunny Shoreham Beach. It’s glorious here. The sea is like a millpond, its tranquility broken only by the gentle splash of swimmers or oars. Paddle boarders punt their way towards the horizon, now just a thin grey line punctuating the endless baby blue. A deep, relaxing silence prevails, occasionally… Continue reading…

E-on’s public consultation: Now you see it, now you don’t!

Hello and welcome to my blog. This is an embarrassing blog to write.  Embarrassing, because I relied upon a misleading webpage put up by e-on. As a result I published several blogs, (7th and 14th May), which would have mislead you, the reader. For that,  I am profoundly sorry. I have also been made to… Continue reading…

The best laid plans……

Hello, and welcome to my post. I’m sorry it’s late and Vlogless, but this week I’ve had to throw in the towel and go with the flow. I’m not complaining though because it’s been fabulous. It kicked off to a good start with the culmination of the Passion for Shoreham at Shoreham Fort. The weather… Continue reading…

Next stop, Passion for Shoreham.

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s nice to see you again. I’ve got lots to get through today, so I’m going to dive straight in. Last weekend was Beach Dreams, and, as always, it was a joyous event. The bands were great, the sun was warm, thousands of good humoured people turned up, and the traffic… Continue reading…

Rampion and telecommunications: Will it still be good to talk?

Hello and welcome to my blog on this sunny but windy day here on Shoreham beach. Classic burning weather this. Well, I’m in a very happy mood today because its been a fabulous week and I managed to read Rampion‘s Environmental Statement on telecommunications in less than an hour. Marvellous. But before I tell you… Continue reading…
