Oh we do love to be beside the Seaside

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
Oh I do like to be beside the sea
Oh I do like to walk along the prom prom prom
Where the brass band plays tiddly-pom-pom-pom

 

Just let me be beside the seaside
I’ll be beside myself with glee
There are lots of girls beside
That I’d like to be besides
Beside the seaside, beside the sea

 

 

We enjoyed a  weekend spa break in Weston super Mare. As soon as I spotted the sea I broke into  this song. For me there is nothing  as comforting as a day at the seaside.

 

 

 

Seaside air was considered to be healthy because of its "ozone" content but the smell giving rise to this belief is in reality that of rotting seaweed, nevertheless I love it  .Ozone's odor is sharp, reminiscent  not only of  the sea but all the smells associated with a day at the seaside ,fish n chips, donuts, candy floss ,oh I do love to be beside the seaside

Is there anything more satisfying then  ambling/walking along the sea looking for those treasures in the sand ,tangles of seaweed, a piece of wood drift ,some shells.

I watched children riding the donkey .I remember having a go years ago.

 We had a fabulous time. Massage, sauna. I really enjoyed the zero gravity massage chairs. Hours of self indulgent time .I love reading the National Geographic magazine so I furnished myself on a lounger with a pile .Oh it was sheer bliss.

All this was followed by a wonderful three course meal. We stayed in a lodge which had the most beautiful views , a lovely bathroom and the most comfortable bed. The following day we feasted on a very hearty breakfast. What is it about the sea air that makes us so hungry?

I feel so chilled , so mellow and very very happy.


 "I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside" is a popular British song made famous by music hall singer Mark Sheridan who first recorded it in 1909. It speaks of the singer's love for the seaside, and his wish to return there for his summer holidays each year
