A Postcard from Hazle...
“Excitedly anticipated for days, a day at the seaside (in my case Bangor, NI) making sandcastles, playing on the beach with bright plastic balls or running into the waves was the highlight of our summer holiday. In the town we ate pink Bangor rock, bought a comic, a postcard for Aunt Lilly, a souvenir for Gran and a brooch for Mum. Then we walked along the prom with a 99 ice cream or bag of chips before catching the train home, nursing our sunburn.”
