Evening Walk

We decided to have a stroll down the town this evening, left about seven as the sun was just setting, dusk I suppose you could call it. It was so warm, can not believe we are at the end of September and still spending the evening outside in T-shirts.
Its amazing how the town changes from the busy hustle and bustle of the daytime. It takes on a quiet air, shop lights stream out into the street, inviting the eye to look. Its easy to move through the town, giving you more time, it allows you to see more, and take the town in and feel what its really like without its madness of the crowds.
We wandered down to the seafront where the air took on a chillier reminder of colder times, the lights of the pier flickered, and the amusements sang out their last calls of summer. A crescent moon was visible, hiding behind the pier, and the aroma of chips filled the seaside air.
Hooked on the smell we strolled back with an open bag of chips, after all, you cant visit the seaside without eating chips!

Yeah Bognor's pretty dead after six...even in Summer...though there is a (pretty well hidden) nightlife at Sheikhs or the Mudclub - mind you, it was only fifteen years ago the pubs and clubs ALL shut down at 1030 pm (1000 on Sundays)- and they still had the bl**dy nerve to call it "Boozey Bognor"!
