The seaside in Winter

We have several friends who only visit us in the Summer. "Does snow lay on the sea?", "Is it very bleak here?", "what do you DO in the Winter ?" are examples of the questions city folk ask us ! The answer is " It's fab !", we can park in our town, we can walk in sunshine (we get lots of sunshine) along the beach, we can shop in all the lovely shops and walk in the beautiful countryside, oh and we can buy buckets and spades all year round !
