FEELING A BIT DELICATE

leaving Qingdao, China, carriage attendant and myself

guide i Qingdao, Martin to right, John to left

not every photo was a trolley

but most were, these were only 2 or 3 years old, strange looking with the grill

and the older Qingdao models, a seaside city, very fresh, real promenaded etc, nasty cold sea mist rolled in later in the day

yes it was George's 80th birthday bash at the Three Greyhounds, we have John and Maureen with us, a large dinner and even larger treacle sponge and oodles of custard for John followed by copious amounts of alcohol, hmm, still its a bright enough morning, we are going up to Preston today for John to see the operation which is still on hold following Stagecoach takeover. We have been copying John's films of Eastbourne takeover by Stagecoach, ditto Cavendish.
