The beach is just over the wall to the left in the above picture. When summer comes along, the whole road will be lined with parked cars and camper vans. Coaches, cars and motorcycles will be fighting to get through to their temporary resting places where they will disgorge their occupants for their days of fun at the seaside.
I’m looking forward to my first summer here very much. Kids playing with buckets and spades, happy faces eating ice creams, drunken bikers singing loudly as they totter back to their camp-sites, but most of all the long evenings watching the sun sink into the sea whilst sipping a fine wine and listening to some good music. But for now, the emptiness has a pleasing feel about it. Not only is the street empty, but the beach mostly is as well.
It feels like the end of the world here sometimes and that appeals to me at the moment. This morning is totally windless, and the sea is the calmest I think I have seen it so far. No proper waves, just a gentle up and down motion.
Cheers, Tom..
