A three day trip down to the south coast and back
I had booked a room at the Premier Inn in Fareham, halfway between Southampton and Portsmouth some time ago for personal purposes for the night of Monday April 22nd and so when the personal reason dematerialised, I had a room booked and paid for. I had needed to go down to the south coast to see a lot of sex shops if nothing else and so I decided after I had talked to a friend of mine in Hastings, who was able to put me up on the Tuesday night, to do a mammoth trip taking in everywhere from Plymoutrh to Southend and visiting thereby all the sex shops I needed to visit outside London and south of the M4, plus South Essex.
I had also talked to Marcus at the House Ducroix, who suggested a visit to expereince a session with Mistress Aemilia Hawk, a cool character who Marcus thought I would find quite interesting. Getting down to Bristol fairly early I first of all visited My Only Vice, certainly the city's most notable indie sex shop, though not one I had hitherto done much business with. Concluding my business with Tom, the boss there, an elusive individual, I had tried unsuccessfully to make contact with on a couple of previosu occasions, but who on this occasion, I was able to meet and do business with.

After popping into the only other shop I currently supply in Bristol, Rudy's in Wext St., Old Market, I ventured on to House Ducroix and enjoyed a session with not only Mistress Aemilia, but also a new mistress there by the name of Lady Vivika, a slim seemingly innocent young blonde, but who is nothing but, once she decides to have her way with you. Most of the session was however with Mistress Aemilia, who is well worth trying out.
The rest of the day was far less eventful, with an unsuccessful visit to Cleo's in Highbridge, where I had hoped to see my old friend Katie, but who was under the weather, and then visits to sex shops in Taunton, Exeter and Plymouth, before the long drive to Fareham.
I kicked off the following day with a vist to a new shop in Ringwood, one that had been linked to a notable fetish clothing shop in Cambridgshire, of all places and then visits to three shops in Bournemouth, including a new spacious shop in the Triangle, before I headed over to see Neil at his remaining shop, Hidden Assets in Southampton. After an unsuccessfull call at another shop in the city, I now headed over to Portsmouth to see Jaydan, a very notable lady, who had made it clear she has wanted me to visit her for some time. She has a very distinctively decorated apartment right in the heart of Portsmouth, with a conveniently located multi-strey car park practically on her doorstep. Portsmouth being located on an island. though one well connected to the mainland, is the most densely populated city in Britain and has little free space, apart form a few parks. I enjoyed being entertained by Jaydan, who did so with aplomb.

From here it was on to Brighton, where I topped up the two Taboo shops, before I headed up to Crawley, only to discover Xes Desire, the town's lone sex shop, and one where admittedly they did not move that much product, would be closing soon, so I bade Jimmy, the proprietor all the best.
I then headed across country via East Grinstead and Heathfield to Hastings and my old friend Colin, who very kindly put me up for the night.
The following day I first visited Secret Desires on the Castleham industrial estate, near which a large bunch of protesters at a new road were still making their presence felt. They had even featured in the Times some months ago. From here I proceeded on to Folkestone and Lacie's an unusual shop run by Sue, whom I suspect has not always been a woman.
My last call in Kent was at Playtime in Bluetown, Sheerness, before I headed through the Dartford tunnel and along the A13 to Hadleigh on the outskirts of Southend. There the shop looked to my surpruise as though it had been boarded up and I had only talked to the proprietor a few days before, but the phone rang inside and with nobody answering, I headed off to my alst call of the trip on B.C.Books of Dagenham. And after successfully leaving them a number of books, I headed home, getting back in good time.
