Tic Tacs

How many people does it take to make a Tic Tac advert?

An astonishingly large number as I stumbled apon the film crew down at the Lido.

The next time you see a TV advert with actors basking in the sun don’t be jealous that you didn’t get the gig of a weekend on a tropical beach. Instead be grateful that you didn’t have to sit in your bikini for an hour at the Lido freezing your Tic Tacs.

My photoshoot seemed to go down well and got the thumbs up!

Fencing

By Mark at 6:45 pm on Monday, December 10, 2007

Following on from the beach clearing superb natural fencing has now been added by Martin, a volunteer. The fencing stretches out into the Lido and we’re expecting Martin to resurface on the north side in April.

The fences are remarkably strong with plenty of tension in the willow.

… and the recent rain has raised the water level so it’s now chasing up the lawn in front of the pub.
