Hi Graeme

Thanks for your comments. We have added the words [portrayed by a voice actor] to the narrative as you quite correctly point out the voices are not those of the people named and slightly modified the opening sentence.

Also if the Newcombe family had that kiosk in the photograph it wasn’t until the 1970s. The other shop on Seaview road as in the family until the 1970s. I have no memory of that kiosk being in the family and is was born in 1957. Good w
Irl otherwise

I remember walking down the concrete stairs that were to the side of the kiosk that lead down to the beach. It would have been my first memory of going to the beach accompanied by that “beachy” smell which takes me back to those days when I smell that sand, seaweed and salt, to this very day. Sometimes I wonder whether my memory of the time was correct, but seeing the photo atop I remember my younger care free days at the beach. Thanks
