      Weston-Super-Mare

      November 16, 2023 in England ⋅ 🌧 8 °C

      So we are now in Western super mare. I wanted to come here because it holds memories of the time I spent here back in the late 60s. It must have been either 69/70 when I was for two weeks at the Rotary Boys Club. I remember the large clubhouse, the afternoon tea sessions, the walks along the beach, the pony rides along the beach visits to the Grand Pier, and just generally the fantastic time we had there. Holiday from home. The photos show the old pier , also known as Birnbeck Pier. Built-in 1867. There is a trust fund to rebuild it.

      Also, wir sind jetzt in Western-Super-Mare. Ich wollte hierher kommen, weil es Erinnerungen an die Zeit weckt, die ich hier Ende der 60er Jahre verbracht habe. Es muss entweder 1969 oder 1970 gewesen sein, als ich für zwei Wochen im Rotary Boys Club war. Ich erinnere mich an das große Clubhaus, die 5 o'clock tees, 4die Spaziergänge am Strand, die Ponyritte am Strand, Besuche auf der Grand Pier und einfach allgemein die fantastische Zeit, die wir dort hatten. Urlaub vom Alltag. Die Fotos zeigen die alte Pier, auch bekannt als Birnbeck Pier. Erbaut im Jahr 1867. Es gibt einen Treuhandfonds, um sie wieder aufzubauen.

      Postcard hunt.🔍

      August 12, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      A grey day with mid morning rain found us on an unsuccessful hunt for a postcard for Lina to send home. We then meandered through a food market at the top of the marina picking up a few goodies for lunch . We returned to base in the rain to eat our purchases and catch up on how The Lionesses were doing in the world cup with fingers crossed the weather would improve. 🤞 As the afternoon promised slightly better weather, we headed out in the car to Weston Super Mare. One visit this lifetime will be enough but we found some fun things to entertain Lina. The place had obviously seen better days with some. grand buildings. Oh, and we found a postcard too.
      Balloons didn't fly at all today due to weather.
