Nigel & Lu Visits Posh Sandbanks

Their next port of call of Sandbanks Beach in Poole fulfilled another long felt holiday want for Nigel and Lu ……….

……. and again lived up to their expectations, especially as due to the time of year they more or less had the beach to themselves ………

Awe lovely beach, my favourite view, no person in sight - a sharp pencil is a good replacement for a holey stone, there are a lot of things one can do with a sharpened pencil - as long as it isn't painful. JantheFan x
