You can quite clearly see John Lennon and George Harrison and Pete Best on drums but the fourth member really doesn't look like Paul McCartney.
Fast forward and Ringo Starr has just had his 83rd birthday. Doesn't seem real when your boyhood heroes reach those figures.

On Friday evening we popped along to another of Richard Headicar's quizzes at the local sheltered housing complex.
These quizzes are impossible in a very nice sort of way. Richard asks 30 questions with three possible answers to each one. Our table won with a score of 17 out of 30. The questions ranged from the world record time for doing a Rubik's Cube to the number of germs on a basic household sponge. Would you believe that the answer to that one is more than all the people alive on earth - no we didn't believe it either.
We worked out at the end that we actually knew five of the answers, had educated guesses at five more and then wild guesses at all the rest.
Richard has his birthday in the next few weeks and will turn 90.

Yesterday we took ourselves off to Great Yarmouth again in search of some slightly cooler weather. Temperatures in our village hit 30 on Friday and yesterday threatened to hit the same levels. Yarmouth was much better at around 22.
It's a busy weekend for the grandkiddles. Yesterday we took Poppy to her Stagecoach rehearsal and then carried on with Elliot to Yarmouth and today we are all off to Southend to watch the stage show that Poppy is performing in.
Elliot beat me at pirate golf and might just let the whole world know.
I have never been to Sarfend and am looking forward to walking the longest pleasure pier in the world. It's 1.4 miles long and will take half an hour to walk. We might have to get the little train back. The weather forecast does predict some early rain. We are just hoping it will be dry when we are there and stay cooler.
I have made a mental note that I haven't been keeping up with my blog photos - something I must address in the near future.
