    Looks like DM is going to be switching the Xmas lights on in my home town!

    He will be switching them on in Nailsea tonight around 6:30!

    I remember the posters of Severn Beach which were put up in the local railway stations. People in swimming costumes on yellow sand, with palm trees.... Never could find the beach in the outdoor swimming pool!!

    We used to ride to Severn beach from Blaise on our Bikes about 1955,it was a great place but you used to bruise your feet on all of the boulders and bricks when you went paddling...

    The best thing about SB is a train ride from north somerset which takes you all around the suburbs via Clifton, Lawrence Hill etc.

    One shilling and sixpence from Mum together with a bottle of squash and some jam sandwiches; 9d return train fare from Filton, 6d to go into Blue Lagoon and 3d for a cornet. Great day out!
