Today my mummy and daddy took me to the seaside. It wasn't really playing-on-the-beach weather (though I have to concede Saltburn has a gloriously clean beach) so we just toddled along the pier, and peered into shops, and had a big fat lunch in a pub.
Saltburn is one of those towns which had a huge Victorian heyday, and is now struggling a bit. However, it's trying to build itself up again and there a few interesting little shops to poke round. And a deli which sells the most amazing-looking pies (it seemed a little unfair to buy one when my Dad isn't allowed pies these days).
If you stand on the beach and look to your left, you can admittedly see a nasty bit of heavy industry blighting the skyline. But other than that it's just smooth, golden sand, and the curvy headland of Hunt Cliff off to the right.
However, my particular delight in Saltburn today came from a ( burst of surrealism on the pier )
Update: LJ just went a bit mad, and in trying to fix it I think I've just deleted some people's comments. Sorry about that :(
