What a tradgedy. And how many years has that been there! Over 100 for a guess. There are so many memories wrapped in that place it's unbelievable.
I loved the fact that everyone always looked happy. I loved looking through the gaps in the floor, looking at the sand below and seeing how far up I was. I loved all the noises of the rides inside. The ghost train, the big wheel, the play area where I played when I was younger and I went for peoples birthday parties. I loved the fun house most of all. I remember my uncle going on the wheel in the fun house and putting out his arms and legs so that he looked like a star and he stayed like that and went upside down, it was so funny to look at. I've lost count of how many times I went on that but I know I loved every time, more and more.
I remember getting a pounds worth of 2p's to put in the slot machines. I would save up for them. Why do we always spend so much money on them just to get more 2p's! lol, It's amazing how stuck into them we get. Ok this is between me and you but I've got one of the light covers off the big wheels red lights! lol, There's no way I regret taking that now, not that I took it anyway, Uncle Matt! lol Good times. Oh yeah, the bumper cars, I forgot them. Why is it that they're actually called dodgems but we still ram into each other... it's cause it's more fun!
I'll never forget everything that I've done on that pier. All the donuts I've had on there. The candy floss and all those 2p's I spent! Now let's hope they build a new one so that we can carry on those memories.

Memories of a cat
You waited patiently for me to come home and as soon as I reached the front door you were there to greet me.
When I was upset, you were the one that would come and find me and comfort me until I felt better.
You would bring me presents, some not so pleasant but I was grateful for them because it showed me that you cared.
Your silky black whiskers, your soft smooth fur, your warm and gentle purr are all still inside my head searching for a way out.
I can't forget you.
I can still feel you beside me.
Your empty bowl still waits to be filled, I see you wrapping your tail round my feet and weaving in between my legs getting ready to be fed.
All the crazy things you did are still in my mind and I miss how insane you were, crosswords, crashing into windows, sliding on mats... just crazy, crazy things that would get me laughing for hours.
I used to say to you that you were my little princess and all you needed was a crown, you were so relaxed and lazy but you were still so special to me.
I miss you and wish you were here but I leave you this message in memory of you, you will always be with me wherever life leads me and I will never forget you my purring, pouncing ball of fluff that I called my cat.
