Posted on Sun, 24 Aug 2025

It seems like forever and ever they've been saying never again.

Brean

Posted on Wed, 13 Aug 2025

I once went to a wedding evening do in a pub in Brean. There were no knives or cat herders but there was a fight. Your description of the peaceful seaside surroundings make me wish I'd gone back on a better day.

Nice one Paul!
