The van was only a few days old. Brean Sands is a flat sandy beach many miles long.
To get photos of the new van I asked my wife to drive it up and down while I took photos
With all those miles of flat beach, no people on it, nothing at all except for one rock half buried in the sand, and my wife missed it by inches.
I waved her to stop and said, OK sweetheart, I got enough photos, I will drive now. And I did for the next twenty years.
