Sadly we had to come back, out of the six taxies I rang only one could pick us up as all the others were doing school runs.

Me and mum sat round the back beach. It was windy,   and I could see the sunlight shining on a distant cornfield. 

Mum said she could see an orange light of a breakdown lorry on the bridge. Later we saw an ambulance going towards Torquay, also see the traffic lights.

Lot of people take their dogs along the back beach, it's seen a lot of history.

We did go on the pier but it's not like it used to be. It used to be thriving in the summer, Paignton per is a lot better. All you win now is sweets and other tat, can't go outside now it's like a building site. Wouldn't believe there was once a ballroom at the end.

I found a letter Mrs Bullock had written to dad about our stay at Redsands. Seems sad in a way now that they are both gone, Redsand is now a private house; Southerly apartments still exists.

Annmaria is annoyed with me yet again, no wonder i want to leave Salisbury! 

Fed up with her attitude, slagged me off to Helena. Well she's not a proper friend, I think it's time we. Parted ways. The reason is mum came with me, and I didn't invite her. With Sheila it was because she didn't save her a seat, she kept trying to scronge money off of Sharon so shes gone. Two ladies refuse to speak to her, one of them used to cut her hair.
