Was that 1987? If so I was having my second child! Great photos. Love the Kingfisher.I miss fish and chips here in san diego too.
Sorry, left it too late to comment on your down memory lane piece about Newmarket.
What a coincidence you both working in the racing industry and for such regarded trainers.
As a youth I lived in Worthing, Sussex near the racing village of Findon and how well I remember the sight of Captain Ryan Price's string of racehorses making their way along the main A24 between Findon and the High Salvington Bostal gallops - what a joy to see them at work! Woe betide the the openly impatient motorist and God help those who blew their horns, a very direct and blistering reproach would come from himself, conversley a wide smile and a raised trilby hat would be the reward to those motorists who drove their cars in sympathy with his racehorses. Such a shame that Giacommeti did not quite win the Derby for him in 1974!
Later I lived in North London and coming off night shift to my Belsize Park bedsit in late 1970's would often see the Royal Horse Artillery making their way up Haverstock Hill enroute Hampstead Heath for gallops/drives. Regret not taking any pictures but can see and hear them now in my mind's eye clattering up the hill.
Newmarket : Have always wanted to see the horses at work on the Heath. Where would you recommend to view them from and what time should I be in position by?
No doubt your work in racing was unremunerative as things were at the time, but what memories you must have of those days! Do you still ride horses given the opportunity?
I never did ride a horse and am now too heavy to, but never cease to appreciate the fluid and glorious sight of a free galloping horse,
always enjoy your blog and the immediacy and intrgrity of its photography,
Neil from Doncaster
Jane,
It certainly was 1987, what a night that was too, and it took ages to get home to the south coast trees down everywhere. If I remember we couldn't leave Upwell for a couple of days as a lot of the roads were shut in the area.
Do you not have fish and chip shops in San Diago then Jane?
Neil,
I see your comment here too, and I missed one question you asked.. so will answer it here.. No I don't ride now, no opportunity really. I think I would end up very stiff if I tried anyway!
Sue
