- the woodland comes down to a snady beach

spent the evening over there aground

lovely

but could not find any history or evens to go with the place

The boat is now on the Alde

I filmed the Orwell last summer

making each film takes about five days - which I have to steal between days of paid work

so the gap between where I am and where the films have got to is getting bigger and bigger

sorry its not anything like real time

Wonderful as always Dylan.Have you tried flogging them to the BBC?
Absolutely cracking documentary's.I love the commentary;we need someone to speak out against 'selling off the public access'

Saving us from ourselves

.......who is there standing up for the ordinary bloke?

Looks like a lovely place that Stour.Like what it were like living round here 50 years ago

Keep up the good work.

Marvellous stuff Dylan.

I think you've done my own sailing 'stomping ground' real justice... only i'm worried that too many people will now realise just how lovely it is, and come visiting!

also... there are several 'graduates' of Ganges on this forum... i've spent a beery evening with one of them, after a great day's sailing, revelling in their fascinating stories of a post war naval training environment.

Enjoy the Alde, its another utterly lovely place.

most of the people who watch the films are from North America -

so they will never see the place

but to have a local say the films are okay lovely

now then

pronunication

stoor - like the shotley boys said

or Stough-er - like the musicians say

Stoor.....

**dylanwinter** · 23-04-10, 12:49

good for you

I prefer to go with the pronunciation from the Ist Shotley Sea scouts

they were all sons of locals

how did pope Griff pronounce it in his recent TV series
