Summer Holidays

I first remember staying for a holiday at Newton by the Sea when aged six. My aunt and uncle lived in the coastguard cottages for many years, and although I remember visitng them often at weekends, this was the first year I had been left to stay with them for a holiday. I remember walking every morning with my uncle to Dunstanburgh Castle and back along the dunes. What I distinctly remember was the smell of the sea and the lovely wooden huts that sat amongst the dunes. My uncle knew everybody and it always seemed to take hours to get there and back as he stopped to speak to so many people!! My aunt was Polish and made wonderful food!
