Holidays that my dear Father never failed to take us on - although he never really had much spare cash. We would spend the time walking the promenade to select the best spot for our 'camp' for the day. Usually with our back to the wall or rocks and there we would remain until the sun went down. I feel sorry for the writer of this postcard who - it seems- did not enjoy her holiday - ours were some of the best memories I have , Our wonderful Fish and Chip suppers after great games of beach cricket, never stopping, even if it poured! on with your 'Cardi's' , and off again. Such lovely seaside postcards evocative of some great memories - thanks x I love this postcard, it is so reminiscent of my childhood holidays .
