Deserted

When the wind is whipping up the sand and the spray and the temperature has plummeted 20 degrees or more, the Pier is abandoned by tourists and locals alike for the bistros, pubs and coffee bars all within walking distance.
I was doing the same thing myself, lunching with a girlfriend in one of our favourite haunts across the road.
However, I couldn't leave without paying homage to the Pier weathering the elements year after year, whether her deck is full or empty.
