With a sunny day and plenty of beach (depending upon the tide), there could be no where better! Donkey rides, or even roundabouts and swings, as well as a Pacittos ice cream if you so desired.

He asked about Ada and Georgina Thurlow in a comment on their picture and then kindly sent these photographs. Tom and Georgina were his grandparents. This is a picture of them in the front garden of their Glenfield Terrace house, with their daughter Isabel and elder son Thomas Raymond (Ray); Mike’s father. In 1959 Ray Codling and his wife and three daughters emigrated to Australia and settled in Brisbane; Mike was born there three years later. Image and information courtesy of Mike Codling.
