Shine

Not to be left out, I thought I'd better jump on the bandwagon and post about my little bit of graffitti in the dust on the church piano also mentioned on Dermo and Elia's blogs! I never thought it would attract so much attention as I doodled during a Thicket practice over a year ago but I guess no-one else has played that piano with the lid up either in the past year which is why the boys had to photograph it when they found it!!!

Also attracting my own attention today was the new BBC2 teen drama Falcon Beach. I didn't really mean to watch it although I was wondering if it was the new one meant to be based on Friends when it came on. But about five minutes into the programme I thought the scenery looked similar to Winnipeg Beach, a place I visited with Rebecca when I was in Canada! Checking the TV Times I read that it was based in Canada but was supposed to be a seaside town. Other little things seemed familiar and even the licence plates looked like Manitoban ones. Then I saw the church and I looked back to my pictures and it was the same church. Same boardwalk, same arcade, same streets, same water tower. I was pretty sure it had been filmed in Winnipeg Beach and this was confirmed when I watched the credits!! So there you go - I've been to the place where Falcon Beach is set. And I bet none of you have :)


Watch it yourself next time it's on and look out for these landmarks! Salty's is where Tanya tried to get the bus in today's episode!
