Oh Joy!! One less hour in bed!! As if I need one less hour in bed!!!!
On the bright side - spring has now well and truly sprung - daffodils are out in abundance, the cherry blossom is on the trees, and they are starting to put fairground rides on the beach at Weymouth in anticipation of sumer tourists.......
hhhmmm... tourists.....goes without saying that I have often been a tourist in my time, and they are a very, VERY necessary and welcome part of the Dorset economy, but I notice the traffic building up on the roads, the lovely sandy beach being covered in fairground rides, the town heaving with "foreigners" (IE anyone not from Weymouth!!!) and I know i am going to miss having a quiet walk on the beach in the evening, having my "me" time with the beach all to myself (well, apart from the odd dog walker!!).
Of course, the flip side of all this is that im watching "my" town change before my eyes - there is now an excited buzz in the air, when I walk into town or stop to chat to someone on the beach, its to a "stranger" who is always in the holiday mood and happy to chat about their life and where they are from. My partner and I have made many new friends from holidaymakers and I know that Weymouth wouldnt be the same without them.....
