It is. I used to live near the beach in Portsmouth too but here all you get is the sea and sand, not 100's of things to spend your money on!

The kids love it here. Our coffee group met up on Omana beach last week and we are doing the same this week too... the kids play in the park and then we have a picnic and then some of the littlies strip off and go for a paddle too... its just great for them round here. Its just so peaceful and if you are with friends you can have a good old natter too. Love it!!

i used to think that I wish I could have been here when my kids were little so we could have done stuff like that right from a young age. Now i get to do it with babykins. Be careful what you wish for!!! No, I love it really. She had plenty of swims last summer and loves the water, she calls the sea 'bath' ...bless...

I had a beer the other month but I felt so sick straight afterwards its put me off.... just as well really. I remember having one beer when I was pregnant 3 years ago and it was on the hottest ever recorded day in England.
I've just eaten a load of mixed nuts from PacNSave.... a craving..
Sorry to the O/P for going off topic..

Nothing to do with the thread but i noticed you said Coventry. Where abouts do you live in lovely Coventry? I've just moved from Nutbrook Avenue to my dads house before we leave in November.
