Happy Days

A Memory of Polzeath.

My uncle 'discovered' Polzeath in the 1930s ,it must have been wonderful to come across such a lovely place after London. My parents went there during the war, I imagine it was a real haven for them in those turbulent times. I have visited there now for over 50 years, though now I always go out of season as it is too popular now in the summer holidays.
I have great memories of spending every summer there, we usually stayed in a variety of odd little houses and caravans but all wonderful! I don't much like the way Polzeath has evolved over the last 15 years, especially in the village, but the beach, cliffs and sea are still magnificent and unchanging.
