A week by the sea – day 6
With all the COVID-19 restrictions in place we have decided that we will not be taking a holiday this year so now is a good time to delve into the archives and organise a virtual tour of a few English coastal resorts. Welcome on board and enjoy the views! We would normally sign off our postcards with the hackneyed ‘Wish you were here’, but at the moment it isn’t appropriate. You may not wish to be ‘here’. If that’s the case, don’t succumb to temptation of travelling when you know it’s much safer to stay at home.
Day six – Greetings from Sidmouth, south Devon.We were staying in mid-Somerset when we took the opportunity to visit Sidmouth, often described as the gateway to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The Esplanade leads to the red cliffs of Salcombe Hill.







I dare say that, in days gone by, the postcards in middle left would have said ‘Saucy Sue from Sidmouth’.

Great photographs John I particularly liked the postcard, I used to love looking at the postcards as a child 😉

Great tour. I would love to be there, but not with the crowds they are currently experiencing. At the shop we are waiting for someone to bring us in a box of 60s seaside postcards – we have seen them but he is thinking about selling them versus keeping them. Fingers crossed!

Sounds like an interesting lot. I just realised this is probably the first year we have not received any postcards. The last two or three folk who faithfully send us one are staying at home this year.
