Afternoon meander

An afternoon coastal walk in Prestonpans, to get some steps in.

Sad news about Michael Parkinson dying yesterday,  he was in my opinion the best celebrity interviewer around, and I remember watching him interviewing the old Hollywood greats such as Bette Davis, Gloria Swanson, James Stewart, Fred Astaire etc. 

When I lived in Maidenhead (talking 35 years plus ago), I remember going to the Bray celebrity cricket match, organised by Michael, and held in aid of charity, and meeting him and his wife Mary, along with other celebrities (Susan George, Simon McCorkindale, Errol Brown etc). Ah, memories … somewhere, I have the programme full of autographs. 

I hope you have enjoyed Thursday.
