But, as always I manage to get back to sleep…until someone decides it would be a good idea to have a parade along the seafront…I love living in Brighton, but you know sometimes, just sometimes, it would be nice to get some sleep on a Sunday morning:)

So, I’m used to the gentle underscore of the refrigeration and aircon sounds produced by the clubs and pubs around my flat, but then this happens, at first light and after a late Saturday night….natures wake up call

I’ll do a good recording of this one day, when I manage to get up early after the late nights I’m working and wrap up warm. Somehow remaining under my duvet on mornings like this always seems more appealing. So, I manage to sleep as the early morning traffic rumbles past my window but as soon as the birds start to sing…This is a cold and frosty February morning in Prestwich, most of the country had snow yesterday, but not Manchester. The wonderful thing is that 5 or 10 centimetres of snow brings affected areas seemingly to a standstill, trains are delayed, schools are closed, people are advised to stay at home and only travel if necessary. Come on that’s no more than a sprinkling! The British are either complete wimps although it’s more likely they’re simply looking for any excuse not to go into work. It makes me laugh and embarrassed.

So, I was just going through some recordings, converting, updating, editing, deleting and adding to my library when I came across this…a stroll through a travelling fair which pitched up in Manchester, last year. I love fairs, the smell of cold hot dogs, generator fuel and candy floss. I discovered that some of my distant relatives were fairground workers, which probably accounts for the reason that I’ve acquired an inability to settle, a constant failure in being able cook the inside of cheap sausages properly and it also probably explains my tourettes type affliction of shouting ‘Scream if you want to go faster’ at inappropriate times. Anyway, when I’m away from Brighton, hearing the sound of a fair transports back to the south coast, makes me smile and thoughts of happy childhood summers come flooding back.
