With the many events held in 2014 to commemorate the bravery of the soldiers of the two World Wars, my visits to the delightful sea front of Weymouth are made more thoughtful each time I pass the memorials erected on the esplanade.
When you think of a European summer seaside destination you might immediately think of such exotic destinations like St. Tropez or Nice or the Cote d’ Azur, but possibly not the southern English coastline. Ah, but there you would be mistaken as there.
