Vogueing in the Sea at the Grampus


I was caught napping - sorry, vogueing - along with Spooky...


While on our little jaunt to Lee Bay during the week, we spotted a duck in the sea. Never seen a duck in salt water and didn't realise they went anywhere near the stuff.



We stayed in an AirBnB place and very nice it was too. Only managed to get it at the last minute - someone should start a new website called LastMinuteAirBnB.com ....

Spotted this beauty at the Grampus Inn. It belongs to Bill, the landlord. He paid £1,500 for it and is doing it up. Want one! Great for a bit of rough, weekend travelling and we could easily get the kayaks inside, or on the roof, if necessary. Bill says it's like towing a bag of air and you hardly notice you have anything hitched to the car. A double bed with a gas hob and a sink - it's all you need.


Bill is an autodidact - he brews his own beer for the pub, cooks wonderfully and plays a fiddle on open-mic nights like a pro. There's nothing he can't turn his hand to. He advertises for help in the kitchen and bar - takers get free bed and board but no wages. Ideal for trekkers and those wanting to learn English and perfect for Bill. He's always inundated with applications in the summer.
