This is how I remember our lovely beach, glorious soft sand and shady dunes in the background, one could walk blissfully along the water's edge and breathe in the subtle salty air, it truly was an enviable open expanse of wonder and somewhere to clear your mind even for just a short spell. Today we have overgrown tangled grasses which I do not think constitute "dunes" which have eaten up 2/3rds of that wonderful place and the smell of fast food. With more plans for food kiosks in the area to come our nasal receptors shall become confused with what constitutes salty sea breezes and salty fish and chips. Glad for your lovely Museum and the photographs of a bygone era, so glad thanks to you we have our memories. Please find a small donation in the post for the Museum. Most sincerely Jacqueline Aris-Finch
