A Quick Trip Burnham On Sea (Without The Sea)!

On his way back from Bude, what better stop off point to stretch his legs and grab a cup of tea ……..

Nigel says he’s going to put it on his bucket list of “world wonders” he wants to see before he’s forty and he’ll keep on visiting until he does.  Perhaps, before another visit, he should avail himself of a copy of the local tide table, which could possibly help with his timing.

What an inspired place to stop off on the way home. What's not to like? Charity shops, plus Winnies. The "Muriel" is superb, too.
