Well done Jim. Beckett played two first class matches while at Dublin (and also won the Croix de Guerre which has got to be a pretty unique double)

Why are 1898 silver dollars worth more than 1897 silver dollars?

$1,898.00 is one more silver dollar than $1,897.00?

Well, I have seen soft sand like that in a few places Deb, but I will guess Kefalonia.

No it's not Crete either. It's nearer to home than that.

No Jean, not Brighton (have you been on holiday? If you have I hope you had a lovely time!).

This is the uncropped photo. I read about this 'beach' in a national newspaper...it's not very big!
