WILF 47,434 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 There’s still some cracking places down the south west, I often just have a cheeky look for old churches and such and there are still some really pretty little hamlets and villages. Always fancied living there but it just didn’t work out like that….still, you never know, I’m only ever one spare of the moment decision away from most things !

Aled 510 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Nice bit of nostalgia there all. Similar story here although we tended to stay in chalets, Dad hates caravans! (did that make us posh?) Anyway snorkelling, rockpooling, fishing, polystyrene body boards, and there was a cracking outdoor Lido at one place with high diving boards and slides, plus ice cream, and fish and chips of course! ...Also the God squad were sometimes at the beach and too be fair their puppet shows were great entertainment for children!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
