Yep I remember my seaside holidays in Wales and Cornwall. I loved it.

We always went to Margate in Kent for a weeks hols every year, stayed in guesthouse and had breakfast n evening meal, downside was you cldnt go back to guesthouse till 5pm so spent day on beach making enlist sandcastles, playing in the sea, watching punch n judy, which i loved and eating sandy sandwiches, which i hated lol

Weather was always nice so that was a bonus. One year parents cldnt afford a holiday so we went for a ride on the woolwich ferry which was free lol

Aww yes Moplady! I do indeed, i remember with great affection as many of my school holidays were spent either staying with my aunt Doris and uncle Frank on his farm, or on the beach when my mum worked in the beach cafe, every day my sister and me were always playing on the beach somewhere, but my sister would often manage to spot a couple of her school pals somewhere, so i let them go to do their own thing, so i would get my boots on and investigate rockpool life among the many rocks, * +

Have many tales to tell of those days. Always had something to eat for free, be it a pasty and cup of tea or sandwich and cup of tea, was always free, and during the day on the beach, i always seemed to manage to d*mn well get wet. By either getting soaked by a wave hitting a rock i was behind, or if i was fishing, the times that i had lost traction on a rock and slipped off it at the very same time that a wave came in, it was as tho they were looking to give me a soaking, * +

On that day mick and me borrowed a boat to go out fishing. (and yes, did get wet, both of us this time). Although we had launched the boat, and were only a few feet offshore mick got up from the seat to sit in centre of the boat i was at the rear, the boat started to rock and turned side on to the sea, a wave hit us broadside almost overturned the boat and gave us a soaking, by now 2 men fishing from the beach saw what happened and came into the water and pulled the boat ashore and saved us. *
