A Grand Day Out

Had a lovely afternoon with ladymoonray yesterday, despite the fact that we were in Essex.

No time to post descriptive text, but have 9000 words' worth ...
Edit: pictures are captioned, just move mouse over them and pause ...

Was this in Southend, land of your childhood, as written about in Banana Wings some years ago? (It looks very flat...)

That is indeed Southend Pier. (Captions on mouseover ..)

Should learn to pause the mouse on the pictures, shouldn't I....

I don't think I'd have gone on that Tortle Swing if I'd realised how high it was!

Please post the narrative, when you have time :)

Nautical stuff and a standing stone? At least you are consistent :-)

Standing stone? Hmph. Last walls of the castle (6000 points to anyone who spots obscure lyric ref). But yes, water was involved. Perhaps I was a sea creature in some previous existence (evolutionarily speaking, of course).

Time to write a meme?

"What kind of sea creature were you in a previous existence?"

The fourth and final album by Love, I think.

-6000 points! It's a track on After Bathing at Baxter's, the 1967 album by Jefferson Airplane. Surely everyone is familiar with this seminal* work of psychedelia? <g>

* i.e. not actually very good
