Beth admiring the famous Alice in Wonderland marble statue on the West Shore, now unfortunately having to be fortified and protected in these later years from vandals.
Amy looking at the model boating lake (on the other side of the shore wall) where her mummy, when she was at boarding school here, used to jog from her school and round and then back every morning after breakfast but before school started, come rain. hail, snow or shine. Healthy days!
Gosh! So this beach/shore was almost like a second playground to you when you were at school just round the corner? Cool!
Mummy, is this then where you spent your school after lunch and tea hours just sitting and talking, paddling in the sea, playing five stones or 'Jacks' or just lying in the sun trying to get a tan in your later teens?
So basically these big concrete steps that run all along here acted as a break-water to prevent the sea going over the wall and onto the prom?
I know that there is a breeze blowing off the sea but is it warm enough yet for me to put my bathing costume on and have a little sunbathe?
This sand is soaking wet but how can you tell if it's from the tide coming in or going out?
Can I take my trainers off and go paddling in the sea yet?
I particularly love these shots of thekids.
ReplyDeleteEspecially (funnily enough) of the one taken from the rear of them looking out.
Poignant pic that.
Super thank you Kendal. xx
