I Used to Live in Hornsea

This is mostly an exercise to embed a video into my blog.

I was born in Dersingham, England, in 1967; a small country village not far from the Queen's estate at Sandringham. I lived there until I was 7, when we moved to a vilage in East Yorkshire (North Humberside) called Hornsea. I found a video on youtube, which is more a slideshow of pictures of Hornsea but it still gives you a good feel for the place I spent many of my formative years: 1974 - 1980. Unfortunately that video had embed disabled so heres a short video of the waves on the promenade. We used to do the same thing and used to get wet all the time:




Hornsea was a wonderful place to grow up, especially in those days, when children were more free to roam and play. Hornsea is a seaside, holiday destination and I have many fond memories of playing on the beach and walking the dog along the promenade.

Hmmm, Web 2.0 hey!

Who knew there was a second web, not me - even though I'm on Facebook already.

Seems like it's (Web 2.0) pretty cool stuff for communicating and sharing and lots of people have great ideas and are improving things all the time.

I kinda hope they leave at two webs though, don't think I can cope with anymore. Although I am enjoying this learning so far.
