We were on holiday. I remember 5 of us in a chalet. I was the eldest child about 9 years old. There was an entertainment area where we attended the Woody Woodpecker Show. Can vaguely remember a small beach. We had to get water once from a standpipe as something went wrong in the chalet?

Most of the men gathered here on the beach are not fishermen - their bowler hats and shooting sticks suggest they are far more well-to-do.
