Hove

The last two Saturdays have been beautiful September days. One Saturday we went right along as far as the lagoon and the Fish Market. The beach was full of people enjoying the sunshine and having picnics. The colourful beach huts were open and families were taking advantage of the last of the summer weekends. On the lagoon youngsters were learning to water-ski and sail, and using paddleboards and canoes. Lots of children were having fun on the swings and apparatus in the play area. Altogether a very happy scene. The Fish Market was very busy and we bought some lovely fresh fish for our supper.

This Saturday six of us had lunch at an Italian restaurant to celebrate two family birthdays which fell this weekend. We then walked along towards the pier. Our American friend, a keen photographer, took many photographs of the busy scene as "the world and his wife" enjoyed the September sunshine.
