Down at the harbour is a series of cafés where you can have a beer or a coffee and a snack while chatting with friends or waiting for the ferry. Close by was a small childrens' playground with swings and slides. The children could keep themselves happily entertained not far from the adults who were doing much the same thing. But it seems that the playground equipment was deemed sub-standard and so it was removed. Recently a new facility has been provided with new state-of-the-art playground equipment but it is not beside the harbour cafés, close to the beach, no, instead it has been carved out of one of the tiny inadequate car parks at the edge of the village some 2½km up the hill. This is not a location where parents naturally congregate though it may well be the chosen location for teenagers to hang out doing things they don't want their parents to catch them at. The brand new playground is unused, there is a lock on the gate and increased on-street parking is causing gridlock in the village.

Both rubbish photos I know – too much sun behind me to see the screens well enough and taken in great haste but it still gives me a chance to compare the cameras in a multitude of situations so I hope you will bear with me.
