12. Blazing Saddles
At the Mall there is a Gromit trail.
This is Blazing Saddles.
This sculpture was in a shop window with glass in front, which made it difficult to photograph.

You’ll be able to travel around the world visiting brand new designs, as well as firm favourites from previous trails, each representing a different country.

“I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.”
One of my favourite films of all time is Back to the Future.
There is that scene in the film where Marty McFly plays in the band (playing Earth Angel) and successfully attempts to get his parents to dance and kiss. He then moves onto playing Johnny B Goode.
So was interested to see this Youtube video from 2016.
Michael J Fox joined Coldplay on stage in New Jersey in 2016, playing Johnny B Goode – recreating one of the original movie’s pivotal scenes. Before that song, Coldplay did play Earth Angel. Michael played McFly as a gift to Chris Martin’s son Moses, whose favourite film is Back To The Future.
One of the reasons this hit my radar was that Michael J Fox has reprised his Marty McFly character in a new video for rap star Lil Nas X.

Sand Bay
A regular haunt of ours for a Sunday stroll is Sand Bay. I was surprised to find this week that there was a bundle of new double yellow lines so we couldn’t park on the street. The first car park was full, but we managed to find a space in the other one. These car parks use to be free to use, but are now pay and display. Not too bad in some respects as it was £1 for two hours. So I say regular, but it had been June the last time we had been there!
Though it was cold, it was still nice enough for a walk along the beach.
The tide was out and it was actually quite challenging to see where the sea was.
I think next time (with the right footwear) we might walk along Sand Point. The last time we did that was in 2016!
