Backstreet Crawler

A morning on the beach and at midday
the water taxi was hailed to take us up to Payne’s Bay from where we cut up through some local housing to…. Wendy’s Sports Bar! Way hey hey! The place was jumping with anticipation - the Calcutta Cup live from Murrayfield. Much bantz as well as a steady stream of bemused and disinterested locals picking up carry out food. And blimey, were we rank. Apart from one cracking try against the run of play we were dead and buried at 10-17 down. And then, a miracle! A penalty try. I thought they’d just stopped for an injury. So 17 apiece. And against a depleted England we sneaked a penalty winner!
Back to lounge and read beside the sea, right till sunset watching shoals of tiny flying fish skip along. No complaints today!
