Those Were The Days.....

That could be me scrambling down the sea wall onto the beach.......I spent my young years, into my early twenties, in our beach hut, on the beach and in the sea. I was born in Seabourne Nursing Home, just in from the cliff, a little further along (East) from where this photo was taken. Unfortunately there was no promenade/sea wall then and our house, on the Overcliff Drive, eventually fell into the sea! I still look at the space on the clifftop when I visit.....
