I will maybe check this out, I only live down the coast a bit from St Bees

Sounds great but a bit of a trek for me!

Thanks so much for the info Michelle. I never know where I will be from one day to the next, so I might just be in the area!

Welcome to this great POE website forum Michelle, and thanks for taking the time to inform not only the members but those who obviously use the website without actually becoming members. We have a great bunch here, who would just love to hear more about whats going on in your 'neck of the woods' so to speak. Please join in again when you can, even if it means you have to get to know that Peter!! Fortunately, thankfully even, he's away on holiday for a week so we get some peace for a short while!

The mention of St Bees brought back such happy memories for me as I used to spend holidays there as child and last year I returned. We were staying at The Camping and Caravaning Club's Site at Ravenglass and I persuaded my husband to accompany me on a walk down memory lane. St Bees has hardly changed, it was so  peaceful and the soft sand and clear sea were still as I remembered. Not much change in the beach cafe either, still traditionally English I loved it.
