A Postcard from Bournemouth, June2020!! from Sue Akande


 Bournemouth beaches looking eastwards

Hi there,

You must visit Bournemouth again soon - it’s beautiful! The scent of the pines is still invigorating, the coastline views are absolutely stunning and the Lower Gardens are bursting with colourful blooms -just as you remember.

I spent this morning mooching around Boscombe. The Victorian Royal Arcade has an abundance of fascinating shops. Ambling back along East Cliff towards the Pier, I walked past the Russell- Cotes Art Gallery and Museum. You still haven’t been inside – you must put it on the list for next time!

The beaches are award winning –so good for the kids when they were little. I spent the afternoon on Durley Chine, having a spot of lunch. Then I took the zig zag path back up to West Cliff. Catching my breath, I stood on the top and let my cares drift away on the tide. Promise yourself you’ll make it back soon (but not while the beaches are so crowded!)

Love Sue x

Growing up near there was a truly lovely experience and I so miss the seaside that you’ve reminded me of - minus recent mass invasions, litter bombs and now cliff fires! All part of the 2020 experience I guess.
