Frederick Howarth Pye 1915 - 1925 'These were taken outside the store can you see me coming out the shop. Bert has gained a stone since he came here and is looking fine. We like awfully well, the weather is simply perfect, we go bathing every day, notice the sands almost to the shop door. It is very handy for the kiddies to play on whilst I help Bert. It is like a fairy tale here there are many pretty lights and shows going on until midnight.
I hope you are all well, give our love to everybody with much love to yourself from all here.
The kiddies send Grandma a big X'
