Non footballing weekend and we are on the South Coast visiting our Warminster based Son. Took the opportunity to get some sun and sand at Studland Beach.
Absolutely stunning and the Airshow is on at Bournemouth as well

At home. Fell asleep on the sofa again with the missus. Woke up with a cricked neck. Watching Billericay v Didcot in the FA Cup on Red Button hoping it doesn't put me to sleep like England did last night.

As in Newbury, Berks?

I'm down there tomorrow to pick up 2 of my kids.

My kids use Specsavers at the top of the high-street if you happen to work there.

My first thought was lucky Mr.Spades but not getting dressed is one of the routes to senility so please put some clothes on your Maj.

OMG John Mac
We were at Studland today!!! Never been before. We live in Exmouth. Took 3 hours to get there thanks to Google Maps not recognising Dorset County Fair was on but the drive was worth it. What a stunning place. Did you walk up to Harry's Rock? We did an amazing 6k walk past the rock and back round for a pint in The Bankes Arms that has its own brewery and a beer garden with the view in your pic. Great afernoon and we will be back.

Picking my way back home to Lancashire from Eastern Bulgaria.
I'm not touching a motorway, in fact I'm generally avoiding tarmac. I'll have to use some tarmac when I get to Austria.
Here's my CCM450 earlier today....I travel light!

Last season he scored a record breaking 88 goals and there'll be scouts from Barcelona, Girona and the Madrid teams to watch him tomorrow
