train ride down to the coast to tez and jean's house in worthing, so good to see them in the flesh as we usually skype. the weather is awful and it's cold but i feel warm as i am with two old friends, it's fantastic to see them again after a few years. off course we have aged a bit and slowed down so it's nice to be around people who are on the same wavelength and physicality as myself.
tez and jean have always been a wealth of knowledge and great company, they are also excellent cooks so i am fed well, nutritious health fresh vegan food. wow! i'm so grateful. the first night i sleep like a baby, wake up feeling completely alive and ready for anything. we take a nice drive into town and i buy some long pants as my legs are freezing. then a little tour around the [place. it's okay, a good place, people are friendly and helpful, totally different vibe from londonistan. people have tiome to stop and chat, it's slower, more traditional and english in that gentle kind way. i like it although i feel a bit of a fish out of water, the beach is filled with rocks and the water looks so uninviting and angry. we have a quaint tea and cake in the lido at the pier and although i am freezing from that onshore wind, the hot drink helps. it's quite amazing how much history tez knows. to be honest tez should have his own you tube channel and i think it would be very popular but he's a humble modest guy and avoids attention.
so for a few days i feel like i am in a sanctuary, being looked after by two beautiful people. we have a laugh as we discuss the world. tales are told, memories of east london where we all hail from surface up and local folklore placed into context. fairy rings, energetic pathways, magick and new eras, politics, secret agendas, possible strategies to navigate them, everything worthwhile is discussed. i drink a few guinesses, eat more great food, sleep deep sleeps and dream weird dreams. we take a group photo together, it's our album cover for a new band called 'pterodactyl hex.'
jean plays sitar, tez on guitars and i do vocals and tabla.
before i know it it is time to return, london is a shock again, the anthesis of the south coast.
