Xmas over

The three days of Xmas are over – starting with our local carol service in Eype Church on Christmas Eve followed by a very peaceful and enjoyable family Christmas Day at home and then on the Boxing day the traditional walk to West Bay to watch over 150 brave swimmers raising money for various charties.

All regular vistors to West Bay will know Margaret’s kiosk on the sea front and it was great to see her open and serving hot teas and coffees - West Bay would not be the same if Margaret was not in her kiosk.  I bought my first ice cream from her over 40 years ago; I am sure many of you have fond memories of eating one of Margaret’s ice creams……

 I was cold watching on from the pier wearing my new ‘Fat Face’ jumper (new Fat Face shop in Bridport so we all had Fat Face presents)  and quickly placed my contribution in the collection tins and headed for the West Bay Hotel for a couple of drinks ………. and lots of conversations about 2011 and hopes for 2012.
