This is The Beach at Greys...

The Beach is a rather optimistic title. It's is a narrow strip of grass between sea wall & mud, strewn with bottles, tins, used condoms and other urban detrius.

I went to visit my new workplace this morning to have all the documents for the new 'Disclosure and Barring' form checked and copied ! Eyebrows were raised because I only have a paper driving license, not a plastic photocard. Life might be much easier if we just had ID cards, then at least there would only be one thing to find..

My new 'office' (to be shared with 3 others) is an old storeroom - no windows, dingy, mouldy .. I'll be camping out in the kitchen I think. I'm assured it will be cleaned & re-painted before I start next Wednesday.
Am having seriously cold feet about this one ! Ho Hum, we'll see. The people are very nice.
