9th October: Car Serviced
It seems to have become my “Birthday Treat” to get the car serviced! It is not as bad as it sounds since I have the work done at the Everton Hyundai garage which is where I bought it. That means I can walk down to Milford on Sea, visit the Needles Eye Cafe, and walk along the sea front. This year it needed new front brakes and a new tyre, so I had a bit more walking time.
Every year they seem to be doing more work to try to protect the promenade from the sea. This year they were dumping large rocks and shingle, although the latter looks like it would soon wash away.
It was sunny and, although there did not seem to be much swell, the breakers over the Shingles Bank were clearly visible on the horizon.
