I was sent this by e-mail......

........and I want to make it very clear that I am not leading a double life.

My irregular wafflings on here have detailed some of the thoughts trials and tribulations of a struggling artist.
I now find that my namesake is quietly undermining me with his burgeoning jewelery business, somewhere in our nations capital.

It would appear that somewhere in the dim and distant, a branch of the family escaped the daily grind of digging out coal in rural Leicestershire.

I wonder if the dynasty was formed with cash gleaned from a well concealed night shift find, at the end of a seam deep below the Vale of Belvoir.............

we can be a bit short of surf.........

..........on our coast.

But not today.

Got up later than planned, and didn't get wet myself, but there were several folk up and at it early on.
I took these pics at what used to be a secret spot.......but judging by how many people were in the water, I guess the word has spread !

Nice to get back behind a camera, I'm in the mood now, so off to a place called Sea Palling to get some more pics.........I might even take the board.........
