Bude is booming after all the rigours of the lockdowns. Virtually every shop on the two main streets are occupied and doing good business. There is still a significant department store too (Wroes for those who know Bude.) My Blip shows the view of the town 180 degrees from last night’s view. There used to be express trains from Waterloo to Bude including The Atlantic Coast Express. The railways made many of our seaside resorts.
