Is there a Sherlock Holmes amongst you? If so, you will have deduced that I am not a night owl. So many photographs of Bournemouth’s pier and beaches, but never after dark. So I thought I’d treat myself to a late night walk. Admittedly, these photos were taken only just after sunset, at about nine. We also walked along the pier. I recently purchased a season pass for the pier. It cost the princely sum of £2.60 for the pair of us. Come September, it will once again be open to all and sundry, free of charge.
The beach was still busy, considering the time. Mostly young folk, enjoying themselves. Plenty were smoking weed. I rather like the smell of it. Mrs P does not. There’s a lot of tents on the beach, with people camping out rather than spending on hotels. Technically, it’s illegal. But the police do not have the manpower to deal with things that are, essentially, causing little or no harm. Instead, the matter is pointlessly addressed by outraged locals in the comments section of the local newspaper.
