Seaside towns are very odd places .... When we think of the seaside it invariably conjures up an idyllic image composed of sun, sand, ice cream and happy childhood holidays; well, it does for me anyway.
These memories often produce a warm internal glow, a happy feeling from within; the world seen through rose tinted glasses.
I wanted to have this warm, happy glow as a permanent inner state, so I moved from the big city to the seaside ............
The trouble is, the sun doesn't shine all the time, I don't really like the feeling of sand between my toes and I dislike that sloppy white stuff, usually served in flimsy tasteless cones, that we all consider as ice cream!
But, nevertheless, for the most part life is quite idyllic here .... but only when the sun shines!
The above is just the beginning of an ongoing, sometimes humorous, narrative of life in a seaside town ...
