... this time it's an aerial view of the Terrace where I used to live in Brighton, Sussex. My home was the top floor flat, indicated by the arrow I have crudely drawn on the picture. Living opposite the playing fields of Brighton College I could sit out on the flat roof of the bay window of the flat below and watch the cricket in summer, and rugger in the winter terms. I could also see over the rooftops to the bustling town beyond, and catch the whiff of salt air in the mornings as the seagulls wheeled and cried overhead. As you can probably tell, I quite miss it ....
The school behind and the small road were not developed when I was there from 74 to 82. Instead there was a chalk track down which I raced my go-kart when I was younger. The proper name for the lane is "Bakers Bottom". We used to call it "Stinkpot Alley".
Which of the football players is you?
ReplyDeleteNone of them. Though I am an Old Boy of Brighton College Junior School, I never played sports on that field. The closest I got was as a young boy playing in the sandpit of the long jump with my toy soldiers. Anyway, you don't want to see me in shorts. Not a pretty sight.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that it's freehand, I think you draw a pretty nice arrow.
ReplyDeleteJust been looking at M.P.'s post on beards. Are you still as good looking as you were thirty years ago? I think we need an update.
