I think childhood memories of seaside holidays can last a lifetime, the days were endless and the sun always shone.
We once took a friend of our son on holiday with us, I had just been made redundant so we didn’t want to spend much, we took a trailer tent to a cliff top campsite in Norfolk and when we got there our sons friend who was about 10 at the time told us he’d never been to the seaside before, I felt so sorry for him but he certainly made up for it on our holiday he and our son had the time of their lives.
