[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 219522, member: 1991"] You knows you live in a small town when they don't HAVE a Christmas parade! Seriously though, difficult child 3 & I drove to the village next door to find that there were a few signs up on the road advertising a kids' beach party at 1 pm. We got to the store (at the beach front) at 1.30 pm to see kids still arriving with parents carrying picnic baskets, beach umbrellas, kites, frisbees etc. The tide was in so I don't know where they would put the beach umbrellas - this is a tidal flat, when the tide is in it's knee deep. Great for little kids. And you know you live in a small town when you go down to the shops on a Saturday morning just go get some milk, and it takes you two hours because of all the people you stop to say hello to - and you STILL come home without having bought the milk! We had a lot of hikers running through the village today. In the extreme heat, the sting of the sun, these poor people looked hot, tired, ready for a rest. They were asking for directions to the boat (for the "mainland") so I suggested they jump in the water at the beach while they waited for the ferry. Clothes and all - it's not a problem on the boat, if the sea is rough you can get wet anyway, if you ride outside. I LOVE small town life! The main problem we have in summer, is the tourists. Tourist season. And me without a gun. Marg [/QUOTE]
