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.

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
