Mum

Some of you will notice I have added the picture at the top. This is a picture of Mum that I took when I went home to visit them quite a few years ago. We went for a walk along Eastbourne sea-front, where they always had beautiful gardens planted out.These were on the top level, next to the road. Behind Mum is the bandstand, where you could go and sit in a deck-chair and listen to the band playing. This bandstand has been used as a setting in several movies.  Behind again is Eastbourne Pier. What a lovely place it was when we were younger, with the arcade, the naughty postcards, and the sweets and candy floss. At the far end was a theatre  where you could go and see a variety show, with all the old comedians and singers.....What memories!  
  But this sort of entertainment would seem far too tame for today's generation.   A lot to be said for simplicity  I feel!!
