Thank you Phil and Steph. You've taken me on a trip down Memory Lane.

After arriving from Hong Kong, my mum and my two brothers and I lived in Westward Ho! from about 1954 to 1957.

During the winters we used to 'surf' at break-neck speed down the steep road into Westward Ho! on plywood 'surfboards' - riding the snow as a highly dangerous and Extreme Sport.

God knows how we didn't get killed shooting across the intersections at the bottom of the hill.

We also used to swim during storms

I was there on Tuesday surfing, it's such a lovely place

[pivotskaterdx]

I love that place!

I remember at 5:28 sitting on one of those benches at the pub having a nice cold Guinness :)

[kamilmisiek5]

Well Phil - you've done it again! Another fabulous vid to wet the whistle of an armchair traveler...

Cudos to you & Steph :0)

[nancyleeould]

Oh I love it there Phil!!! I want to go into the shops, and collect rocks on the shore, and wade in the ocean, and watch as the gulls float on the air currents. I want to watch the tide come in, and go to the amusements building!! Oh the rainbow!! And the colorful buildings!!

Thank you for taking me/us there!!! :-)

Hugs across the pond~Nancy

Looks so much New England...no, other way around, isn't it...I love those wave polished rocks on the shore and reminds me so much of home. I'm a bit hung up on stones and rocks because Florida has NO stones...only sand and coquina stone which is just crushed shells, really. The music was beautiful...I'm homesick again. I love this video. Like taking a trip to the north shore of Massachusetts and seeing England, where I've never been, all at once. Thanks so much.

[joeabro1]

great video.

[moomay11649]

ah... the shore! Maybe I'll take a ride there soon.

The bird Sanctuary is only 90 minutes away from me.

And the National Wildlife Reserve. What a treat!

Beautiful video Phil.

Loves,

Mooz

[Zoltrix67]

I got 14 tapes but not all will be used for the tube hehe These are the last ones,

[Zoltrix67]

Only time we saw the inside of Chalet was late night. We spent all hours of the day til dusk away from it ;)

[Scoppertop]

Absolutely gorgeous! And the rocks on the beach are so... rounded! The gray clouds don't spoil it a bit! Love the colorful town, especially the rows of townhouses and shops-- reminds me of home. Well... except for the stonework. Ooooo-- a rainbow! Don't see those much anymore, but wonder why...

Thanks for the wonderful peek!  S.

[Zoltrix67]

Thanks Susan. That was the only day we had rain, it lasted about 10 minutes and then was gone. Not far from there, in Cornwall too, they had flash floods and road clusres and all. Only a few miles away.
