Guernsey Sand RacingThis morning the in-laws and I went to the Farmer's Market as The Mister was working. This afternoon however we did something distinctly different and we all went to Vazon beach to watch the sand racing. This week it was motorbikes and bikes and sidecars and is it completely mental, especially the bikes and sidecars. Any event that treats a human body as ballast cannot be a good thing! They fling themselves around the corners and it is completely nuts to watch but it is really fun. There was quite a lot of people there and the weather was lovely. When I was younger we regularly used to go as a family to watch the sandracing, often with my Uncle Steve and his family. Today I caught a whiff of the petrol and the sea and it took me right back to being a child again. I'd forgotten how quickly a certain smell can transport one back to a time or a place. Amazing.
