2021 Week 28: I Do Like To Be Beside The Sea

Another lovely summer day walk with Martin. This time along the Sussex coast from Hastings to Bexhill-on-Sea. The sun, the sea, the beach, ice cream and fish and chips. Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside.

I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside
Everyone delights to spend their summer's holiday
Down beside the side of the silvery sea
I'm no exception to the rule, in fact, if I'd my way
I'd reside by the side of the silvery sea
But when you're just the common Smith or Jones or Brown
At business up in town you've got to settle down
You save up all the money you can till summer comes around
Then away you go to a spot you know where the cockleshells are found

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside
I do like to be beside the sea
I do like to stroll upon the Prom, Prom, Prom
Where the brass bands play tiddely-om-pom-pom
So just let me be beside the seaside
I'll be beside myself with glee
And there's lots of girls besides I should like to be beside
Beside the seaside, beside the sea

John A. Glover-Kind

I took an opportunity to take a few pictures for my ongoing project about the English seaside towns. A perfect day for it.
