Walking back through the council camp-ground looking at all the tents, all the people, all the cars… it doesn’t look like much of a camp-site, with the number of cars and the size of the sites its more like camping in a car-park!
Still no activity out on Lorne pier, now that the last fishing boat has gone its looking completely dead, and the rebuilding that was due to start last winter still isn’t approved. First plans were for demolition to commence in May — six months ago — then rebuilding to commence before plans were finalised, some kind of fast-tracked idealistic market-driven twaddle that never even got off the ground. There’s now a tatty photocopy of the proposed plans for the new pier taped up in Christo’s window, no idea of when construction is due to start, or how long it’ll take to complete…
