Thank you for reminding me of my childhood and Grandparents. I had to read it seeing the misspelling in the title. 5* for nostalgia and accuracy, escecially the channels and rising tides.
The flat over the Oxfam shop I used to work in in those days? Not too many newsagents along there.
Ogg, I appreciate your realism and detail, as almost always. I've heard from others that sandy beaches aren't all they're cracked up to be, as places for sex, but you made that dry fact come alive. Thank you!
To the Anonymous who probably won't see it, so also to others: Ogg is ill and has vision problems which make proofreading difficult for him. One thing I personally have appreciated in his stories since I first encountered them is his attention to details of the craft of writing. The story is IMNVHO quite nicely done in spite of a couple of slips. (I had to laugh at the "tent pages", though.)
Sweet short story. Feels like a true story, unlike most 'true stories' here. Never been to Camber myself despite it being nearby - the deaths every year put me off somewhat, and now the wind and fine sand!
