AN INDIAN SUMMER AT BARRY ISLAND


October 7th and Barry Island is busy... ... ... I mean packed.


WHERE THE SANDS ARE GOLDEN

AND THE SEAS ARE BLUE

THAT'S GLORIOUS BARRY ISLAND

(yep, I am taking the piss!)





No parking spaces on the front or around the fairground and the main car park was two thirds full.

The fairground was shut - seeing as it's been open about 10 days all year and has died on its arse - that was no surprise. The prom however was packed, every cafe full and people sitting around everyhwere.

The beach was full of dogs but while that's a typical sight with the calibre of females that are drawn there, this was the four-legged variety as it was the first weekend of the winter when animals weree allowed on the beach. And it was pleasant and warm.

Barry Island is truly awful but when the sun's out and the weather's good, it somehow never quite looks that bad. Even the sea appeared blue ... and had people swimming in it ... nutters!
