If you read the last entry on this website, you would have found a suitably-motivated person, ready to rock&roll.
Unfortunately, life's got a habit of kicking you, after it has pulled the carpet from under you, before dumping you in the skip.
Enough of that. The weather's been rubbish. I've had another chest infection. I've taken up Morris Dancing. Some or all of the above statements may be true.
today's picture:
From left to right:
Some tourists, a pushchair, Dave Arnold, Dave Guinea, Mike Sprason, Shaun Reynolds, a Hillman Avenger.
This was taken on Seaton seafront, before the 1996 'Grizzly' race.
Ah, but we were all so young then. Ok, younger.
Since then, of course, we've all gone on to bigger and better things. David A, of course, has been for some years acting as the body double of Bernard Thresher, the ace folk musician and lead singer of Lancashire's finest hardcore chip-eating guitar and pringle box whizzos the Lancashire Hotpots.Dave G - well, he's been a bit quiet, to be fair. Always was. Looks like a shoo-in for Popeye in this pic, though.
Shaun - He's been a busy lad. His son Aidan lit t'Olympic torch you know. Fire is a big thing in the Reynolds' household, what with him being an ex-fireman and all that.
Mike - He's gone from strength to strength. He's still running. He still has those shorts.
Me? I'm not on that picture. I wasn't allowed out of the house at that time. But I did go to Devon soon afterwards.
The boys have a love-in every year over the Grizzly, though these days it does tend to be the Cub run. Hopefully I can post this year's version of that picture :)
