Burnham-on-Sea
9 October 2011
We stopped in
Burnham-on-Sea on the way to see Mick and Pat. Having left home early we had time for a
bracing hour on the sea-front before continuing our journey. At eight o’clock on a grey
Sunday morning the promenade was almost deserted. At least parking was plentiful and
free. Rain in the air soon blew away
in the strong wind. |

Teresa soon tries out
the sand … |
▲ The promenade |
… and even has a paddle |
I wonder why the sea
wall needs to be so strong |
As befits a mini Weston,
Burnham has a mini pier |
The old slipway; rescue
services are now provided by hovercraft |
Burnham is proud of its
moment of wartime glory |
|
Before leaving, we also
take a quick walk through the town, taking care to be on our best behaviour –
this town obviously has standards |

Roger soon began to feel
at home – indeed this is a favourite destination of summer bowls touring teams |
