Nice and sunny this morning so I pootled down to Hayling Island for an hour. The tide was almost in and all the little boats were bobbing around either side of Langstone Bridge, so a very pretty crossing.
When we visited Margate we pretty much stuck to the sea front – as I recall (never reliable) the tide goes out a really long way. I wish I’d known about the Shell Grotto back then – I think I’d have loved it. Not up to the stairs any more, alas. I think we did visit Dreamland at some point. It was such a shame it got asset-stripped during the 1990’s – the Big Wheel got flogged to Mexico, for goodness sake, and that was a flippin’ Landmark!
What’s your opinion regarding Q4? Looking at my constantly evolving ‘options list’ I find that the 176bhp 2.0 Countryman S Classic has gone up by £200, the Clubman S Exclusive and Sport by £250. The BMW Sport that I was rather charmed by has gone up by £500! Still, the Ford Focus 182 ST X-line that I thought had gone has now come back at the same price – though I read somewhere that the X-line is discontinued, so… I don’t know if having another 18 months to run on my Golf is a relief or not: Half of me says ‘That gives things time to settle down again’ and the other half says “There won’t be anything left but Dacia and Ssanyong – assuming Motability will even exist after 12 months of Brexit austerity.”
Ho. And, indeed, Hum.
