Oh Shoeburyness, Shoeburyness – the greatest gift that I possess

Shoeburyness 2
Today’s photo: Another long exposure shot taken near Southend, UK, at Shoeburyness. Ah… Ken Dodd.  The problem with being born in my era is that I cannot get the songs of Ken Dodd, or indeed Keynsham Bristol, that’s K.E.Y.N.S.H.A.M, out of my head.  The latter was burned into my prefrontals while listening to Luxembourg on an actual crystal radio, buried under the covers.

I apologize to my overseas and younger readers for whom this is all nonsense.

  • On Long St

    ByDMcA

    Little bit of street now. As I write, I’m sitting outside Lola’s cafe on the corner of Buiten and Long streets, finishing a rather nice salad nicoise. Or rather what fashionistas call salad nicoise.  A real salad nicoise has more salad than tuna, and the tuna is cooked and shredded on top of mesclun ,…
