Gwithian Beach Today
What a great Friday today was we all met at Gwithian beach Hayle as usual, there was no surf to speak of and it was spitting with rain so the Sunset cafe looked very inviting. I listened a lot while eating and drinking (chocolate) we had a wonderful mix of people there at this weeks beach clinic. I took along a retired colonel who doesnt know what to do with himself now he has no men to command and he cant boss the women about in his life so I thought "ah beach for you Rodders old boy" and a chiropodist who also works in mental health my pal Alex. They both appeared to enjoy being with our motley collection of broken soldiers and stray people who rock up each week. Big Freddie was looking rather glam he was all shiny looking without his walruss moustache.. Russ Pierre and Rich Emerson confirmed that they are definately coming to France to make our film for us so it was worth going just to hear that. I love fridays I watch people being slowly put back together by very energetic guys whose main qualification is that THEY CARE.
Surf Action is a wonderful charity they are small but very very good. I know I keep banging on about them but its my blog and I can so there. Well done dudes another fabulous Friday under your belts.
The pictures were not taken today but a few weeks ago they are of a team building exercise and much merriment.
