If you are going to make the most of the last day of summer, beside the sea is the place to be. But you must join in the spirit of a seaside holiday.
To begin, it helps to have someone who knows where to go and how to get there.
Here he is; our driver. I don't know his name but he was a very nice man.
Did you go on a coach outing you may ask?
No! more exciting than that; especially if you are still a boy, or girl, at heart.
This is it!
We sat in one of the open carriages, with what'shisname behind us. Don't ask me - I don't know who he is; but he has always been in the background whenever someone has taken a picture of us during the past 66 years!
It was a bumpy ride, but Doreen enjoyed it.
Here are a few other views of our outing to Hengistbury head and Mudeford Quay.
Christchurch Priory is in the distance
If you think buying a house is expensive, try getting hold of a beach hut!
Of course, you need to join in the activities and support the local refreshment oasis.
You can bring your dog, or play with one belonging to someone else.
But most of all, please come properly dressed as all small boys do.
