Funny how perceptions differ
I moved here about 18 months ago and to be honest I really love the peace and quiet of Weston. It is sad that the Pier burned down, but it is sadder that Birnbeck is collapsing into the sea.

I am not a great one for shops or noisy pubs, but during the summer just gone I sat in a beer garden with my good friend Nicola and played Backgammon in the evening sunshine. Now that may not sound like much, but that is one of the best memories I have because the place and the company was just perfect.

Quite often I cycle or ride the motorbike down the Toll Road and head over to Sand Bay, another hidden gem. Sand Point is a real beauty spot, a great place to sit and think, watch the ships sail past on the way to Bristol.

Yeah, I love Weston. I moved here because of my lovely partner and yes there are some places that could do with a lick of paint. However Summer evenings on the sea front with about a thousand other bikers makes Weston a cool place.

At the moment the sea defences are being repaired, the Grand Pier is being rebuilt with a lovely new building and they are still talking about how to repair the Tropicana, but things can only improve from here. I just wish some one could save Birnbeck.
