Childhood memories are made of bright colours and tingling
tastes and ring with fun and laughter. As you rekindle thoughts of those days
when simple pleasures brought huge delight, the times that spring to mind are
always care-free school days, delicious home cooking and classic seaside
holidays.
Glorious days spent on the beach with bucket and spade, fish
and chips by the sea or sticky-sweet candy floss and the vibrant lights of the
fair! Sadly, when we return to our favourite places they never seem to live up
to expectations. The hotel that you stayed in year after year has been turned
into flats, the pier is off-limits due to repair work; everywhere is just a
little bit tired and in need of some TLC. Yet there are some places that are
bucking the trend and a return visit will excite and surprise you.
