It Was A Flaming Long Wait!

For an hour we stood in the grip of an unseasonably cold wind on the bridge at Berwick.

First there were police cars, flashing and wailing to amuse the children (and frighten the adults).

Then there was Coca Cola (thanks for the much needed freebie).

Then all sorts of other hangers on, until eventually... this mature athlete appeared carrying the big cornet.

No wonder the armada was well late! I doubt we'll get a spot on the podium with that performance.
