How my Mum and Dad ever managed to eventually sit down and enjoy the beach I'll never know, as there always seemed to be so much stuff to take on our travels and cram into our little Bedford Dormobile. Aside from us, there were Grannies, Grandpas, Aunties, Uncles, pets, toys, meths stoves, wind breaks, umbrellas, copious amounts of tea, sliced sausage and tattie scones.

I was oblivious to all of these life necessities, as all I was interested in was fun, fun, fun.
