Lovely pics Maree, all of places I know and have visited at some point, and still do for the most part.

I really like Clevedon. Well, my Lovely Cousin was born there for one thing, and another Cousin sponsored one of the planks on the pier.

Some of the scenes in the TV series, Broadchurch, were filmed in the town.

I swam in Weston marine lake when I was a teenager. I can’t swim now due to health reasons, but I hope the dredging will make it as useable as the one at Clevedon now is, and it will encourage people to visit the town. Some of the visitors will hopefully pass through our village and spend money here.

Are you familiar with the Sandford Station retirement village? My parents were residents there for the last few years they were alive, and it is a lovely place in a lovely setting. I especially enjoy visiting the old station which is open to visitors at weekends. A stroll along the old Strawberry Line is well worth the effort as well.

Thank you. Yes, Clevedon is lovely, I hope they do the sponsor a plank thing if they rebuild the Birnbeck Pier in Weston, I’d definitely sponsor one

I know Sandford well. I may even have been known to pop into The Railway for a Thatchers!
