I couldn't wait to get to the beach and always got taken to one of those beach shops and my nan would buy me one of those multi-coloured rubber bucket and spades. Frustrating though, trying to dig a sand castle in all those pebbles.Also got taken to the open air paddling pool, I think it was called Peter Pan? Just loved those bright green double-decker Southdown buses as well, (I still think of that particular colour as "Southdown Green").
