Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Every summer in the 1980s I would pester mum and dad to play on the mini Island, I loved it. I loved the fact that it was a little bit scary when you lost your footing on the slippery mounds of the 'downs' and you would slide into the 'sea'. I could have stayed there for hours as a child, much to my parents' boredom! Ventnor will always be sharp stones in your feet on the beach, hopping over the hot road for a mint choc chip ice cream then into the Gaiety in the height of summer.
