Maybe it's just me ... but for the last few days I get a red message box "500 - Internal server error" when I try to connect to www.dawlish.com. Using Chrome on XP Pro. Tried using Firefox this a.m. and it seems to be OK. Anyone else ?
Spotlight last night (I think I've got this right) was saying we can expect a second platform/crane to turn up alongside this one. Don't know when. But it still looks as though we won't get our seawall walk back till January (assuming no more storms !).
Had to miss the Air Show this year, sadly. But, as I was coming out of the Smugglers yesterday about 6-ish, who should fly over but the Red Arrows, in two tight groups of four and five.

At the moment we have (1) the Shaftesbury (the only venue with a stage, lights etc), (2) the Manor House and (3) various churches and their attendant halls (including the Strand Centre in that class). Most of these are uncomfortable, ...
