A Dance a Day performance on Weymouth Esplanade |
...to the Punch and Judy Show! Here, the show was surrounded by unattended children who obviously thought it was very funny to pelt the booth with little stones, much to the annoyance of the operator who made pointed comments in the direction of the missing parents, none of whom appeared to chastise their offspring. Being such a lovely day I expect the parents were happily taking the opportunity to cook themselves whilst the kids were being entertained. The next day when I was there it was much windier and the children, accompanied by mums and dads this time, were doing all the right things, with choruses of ‘hello’ and ‘yeeeees’.
It was so windy on Saturday that as we walked back home in the afternoon we were showered by sea spray blowing in about 50 metres away from the shore of Newton’s Cove. Quite a difference from the day before’s millpond conditions when some of the sailing had to be postponed due to lack of wind. Up on the promenade, a group of children were having a whale of a time, dashing in and out of the spray as the waves crashed against the sea defences.
