The Happiest Memories in my Sad Life

I went on holiday with my nan and grandad and auntie and it was the most beautiful exciting place I had ever been to in my life. The amusement arcade was just across the road from our tiny chalet in Meadow Way, Nan gave me lots of pennies she had saved for me to have on holiday. She would walk up to the Las Vegas amusment arcade and get her seat to play bingo, my mum and aunt would join her and wonderful prizes were all displayed for the bingo winners to pick, my nan always let me pick a prize for myself. I remember the midnight walk home with all my family, and my wonderful grandad would be waiting for us all across the road in the pub, then we all walked back to our tiny chalet to get ready for bed and have a good laugh at somthing or other, it was my nan who would make us laugh. We had an outside toilet which had a most wonderful smell in it, this toilet was the one and only place which had this smell which would always remind me of those wonderful Jaywick holidays and would always remind me of that place which holds such a special place in my heart for the rest of my life which has sadly suffered so much family heartache and pain, and I remember that once upon a time long ago there was a magical place called Jaywick.
