Dry, at last! Hot as a hot place and wonderful clear blue skies, hooray!<br \/>\nMost of the population of the UK was either in our town or trying to get into our town.<br \/>\n(Visitor numbers courtesy of my husband)<\/p>\n<p>Sitting on the sea wall next to us was a lovely couple with a young family. The boy was about six years old and the girl, about five. She was dressed in pink, from top to toe, as pretty a picture.<br \/>\nOh, OK, in case the equality police are reading, the boy was in khaki shorts and a tea shirt with writing on, looking\u2026 just like a boy. (Happy?)<\/p>\n<p>The Red Arrows were the highlight of the afternoon and gave us a stunning display with their usual effortless precision.<br \/>\nWhen they whizz off into the middle distance between manoeuvres, where do they go?<br \/>\nWell they completely wowed us all, except the young boy.<br \/>\nHe was completely disappointed that they didn\u2019t fire any guns or drop any bombs in our sea!<br \/>\nThe little girl on the other hand was enthralled with their smoke trails. She thought they looked just like knitting in the sky.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Like-knitting.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Like-knitting.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Like knitting\" width=\"500\" height=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Like-knitting.jpg 2480w, https:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Like-knitting-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/miriamrogers.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Like-knitting-723x1024.jpg 723w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2480px) 100vw, 2480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brought to you by <a href=\"http:\/\/fromhighinthesky.blogspot.in\/\">Sian<\/a>, she that is High in the Sky and her wonderful Story Telling Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was an air display in our coastal town this week.
