Time and time again mans best efforts are belittled by nature. Here is a prime example. The humble mussel, with no arms or legs, manages to reduce the Canadian Navy defences to useless junk.

Gerry and I enjoyed a drink here on Sunday. This is a nice old style pub with a great atmosphere. Next visit we will try out the food.

Tropicana


Gerry and I spent a lovely but decidedly chilly day in Brighton yesterday. A day spend meandering around The Lanes, browsing the shops, having lunch at The Druids Head and culminating with a visit to the Brighton Centre to see the latest Holiday on Ice presentation “Tropicana – The Passion Tour”. The food served at The Druids Head was superbly prepared, great taste and good value. They were also serving mulled wine which was very welcome given the outside temperatures. The ice show was impressive. With many champion skaters in the cast the skating was, of course, brilliant. The choreography was entertaining and in some parts, exciting. Overall I would say it is a very good show and would recommend it to everyone especially if you like the songs of Barry Manilow, around which many of the set pieces are based.
