Newquay Harbour

Here I am at Newquay Harbour. Do you want to know why I'm at Newquay Harbour?

.......................30 years ago Ann's friend Tony, who is staying with us (the one without underpants - see yesterday's blip) was at college with a guy called Wayne who took holiday makers out on a boat from Newquay Harbour every summer.

Well, Tony thought it would be nice to meet up with Wayne so he decided that if we went to Newquay Harbour we'd find him just pottering about on his boat. Ann said, 'Tony what a stupid idea! You haven't seen him for 30 years - he might be dead, he might have emigrated, there's a million and one reasons why he will NOT still be hanging around on a boat in Newquay Harbour'.

Still, I don't care where I go for my walks so off we went to Newquay Harbour.

When we got to Newquay Harbour, Tony spotted a man driving a truck with lots of fish in the back. He said, 'Hello are you Wayne's son, you've got the same kind of hair?' I'm sure the man driving the truck thought, 'What a weirdo!'

Anyway to cut a long story short, the man was Wayne's son and Wayne is still taking holiday makers out in his boat from Newquay Harbour.

Unfortunately Wayne wasn't there this morning .............................. but how's that for a long lost friend story??!!!
