An Afternoon Stroll.....

Postby TSC. » Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:24 am

Hi all,

Have just taken Jr tsc out for some fresh air (on his 'very proud of' Thomas bike). I took the camera with me so I thought i'd post you some pics of what it's like where I am.

Torquay Harbour, the two slipways in the background were built just before the D-Day landings & were used by American troops on their way to liberate France:

Jr tsc, on his bike (on the right), furiously making his way down the old pier:

A quick view towards Paignton from the old pier:

The Grand Hotel (cream building) in the background, nice place for a quick drink if your around this way:

Cheers,

You didn't run into Sybil or anyone speaking with a strange Spanish accent then? ;D

LOL - not today.

Although at work I don't tend to apologise for colleagues - I just say 'I'm sorry - he's from Barcelona........' It's amazing how many times that will defuse an irate customer.

Cheers,

TSC.

Hey, I've been there! I stopped in Paignton... in a little caravan ::). Looks similar to Dartmouth, just a steam train's journey away!
