Mini Parade
Went out for two rides today. the first with Carmen, 7 years old and later on Tommy who is 11. Riding along the main parade, spotted these minis all lined up. Possibly a group of mini enthusiasts out for a day by the sea. You don't actually see many about nowadays despite over 1.5 million being sold in Britain alone. Thanks to Carmen for holding my bike up.
Donkey rides
Traditional on several of Britain's beaches, donkey rides have been here for literally donkey's years. Pun intended. They were out in force today, grabbing the cash off unsuspecting kids. Carmen tells me she has been on one of them, one called Pepper. Think I will stick with the bike.
Weston Pier
The Silica
Built as part of a big regeneration programme for Weston, this is just outside the main shopping area at Big Lamp Corner. At night there are LED displays on it. At the base is a retail kiosk, a bus shelter and a public information display. It is supposed to represent man's harmony with the sea.
A total of 9 miles today with the two rides. A nice sunny day as you can tell, but the wind was a bit keen. The kids never felt it, but Grandad did!
