Then go to Bravejournal, to your Look & Feel Editor, Text, Code Editor and paste the codes. I hope this helps you. Thank you for your comment.

Seaside Memories

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

This weekend we have a big traditional seaside festival at Spittal. I'll be playing on the Sunday (singing and playing piano solo: jazz standards and maybe some silliness depending on the atmosphere).

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing the Punch and Judy show.

As always in England we're waiting on the weather but it's forecast to be bad Saturday, good on Sunday.

 

Here's some of my family photos showing showing Brits enjoying (or freezing their asses off at) the seaside:

above: a traditional part of a seaside excursision has always been for children to take a donkey ride across the sands. The names of these people are lost in time. the styling looks very 1920's and the central chap looks to me like my maternal grandfather, Sid, who sadly died when my mother was still a babe in arms.

above: my maternal grandmother, Doris, circa 1937. She'd kill me for letting everyone see such a 'saucy' picture of her!

Posted by 'Lisa':

Hi Hazel - Just poped over to say have a good gig and I hope the weather holds out for you all. I'm at the camp over at the Thunder Valley ralley so looks like I'm going to be a little soggy as well. (It has rained the last 2 years for the rally so Im used to getting wet anyway. And being in a PVC dress is probably a good idea for this year if it does. Any how have fun
