Two weeks in Brid , same guesthouse and all the family on my mams side came , my grandparents , aunt's , uncles and cousins , about twenty of us .

We used to book three of them chalets on the front , same ones every year , little stove in it for making tea .I can see my grandad nar with his trendy trilby hat on and a pair of binoculars looking out to sea sat on his deck chair .

Mi grandma took us kids on the Bridlington Belle which used to sail up to Flamborough and back .

Great family times and I've got all the old photos that were taken back then , most of em in black n white and all dated which year it was , starts about 1965 when I was three , priceless they are .
