This is what we got up to the other day.
Froggy was in charge so ordered everyone to meet in the Steamworks at Seaford.
This place is getting better and better and hopes to open a branch at Glynde so that NERDS can doss around there where the countryside can be accessed with the minimum of effort.
Paco rolled up with yet another grandchild
- called Lily. Well I suppose someone needs to take him by the hand and get him moving on the right day. Lily didn't look like Paco, but there again neither did Sasha. Anyway, she was young and had a phone to fiddle with so she ticked all the right boxes.
The NERDS had a few drinks then Laf was railroaded by Sandyballs into getting some chips from Trawlers (Laf may have a bad biscuit habit but it's nothing compared to S B's craving for chips every ten minutes.)
Froggy then took us all along the seafront to admire his new Ukrainian flag atop his new place of work.Then we carried on to admire the outside of poor dead Hamish's beach hut where so many women lost their er... teabags. What a smooth talker he had been....and such a hard worker too....
We went up a hill which by God's grace was only short and not too steep.
The treat at the other end was Seaford Golf Club (specially for S.B.) where we met The Bish but not The Tubb.
It was the first shift for the blonde girly at the till, so ordering stuff was a bit slow. However she responded well to Matt's offer of help (he being a technological wizard) and managed to keep her hands on the till and off Matt.
The food was OK ish but smallish portions apart from Bish's mega ploughmans.
But most things are either going up in price these days or else diminishing in size - even the women. Finally we had a very interesting conversation led by The Bish about the relative merits of NHS hearing aids compared with those funded by the private sector. Honestly, Lafayette could hardly stop panting with excitement.
Later on Froggy lead most of us back through the labyrinth known as the back roads of Seaford, and we ended up in the Cinque Ports drinking stuff and watching the rain beginning to pour outside.
Nice ramble, just about the right distance, and an interesting Mystery Guest. Who will Paco bring next time? Is he going to host Ukrainian Girlies? Laf can't bear the anticipation.
Watch this (small) space.
Next ramble May 11th - Paco's birthday. So Champagne and Ukrainian dolly birds. make sure you're all there - even Paco.
All for now.
lafayette.
