While others look to Devon and Cornwall when dreaming of the seaside, I look to the opposite end of England. As a fully paid-up member of the North East Coastal Appreciation Society, I scratch my head and ask myself: who needs the South West when you can take in beaches that stretch to a vanishing point, magnificently battered castles and market towns and villages that have yet to prostrate themselves for the sake of the tourist shilling? Yes, a dip in the North Sea turns me an interesting shade of orange, but that’s a reasonable trade-off for not having to queue 30 minutes for a pasty.

On Saturday, May 15, the RBL will be marking its centenary with a special event at the Cenotaph in London.
From 9am, the public can watch a Facebook livestream re-creating the moment from 100 years ago when veterans from four organisations, brought together by Earl Haig and Sir Frederick Lister, laid wreaths as a symbol of unity and formed the British Legion.
Representatives from the Navy, Army, RAF and Merchant Navy along with a military widow will lay wreaths to mark the centenary.

Coun Julie Sadler - newest member of Skegness Town Council.
Conservative Julie Sadler stood in the Woodlands ward of the Parish By-election for the seat which became vacant when Coun Bob Walker moved up north.
Her unsuccessful opponents were Gary Owen Ellis (Labour Party) and Declan Hawkins (Skegness Urban District Society).
It was second time lucky for Coun Sadler, who last stood for election two years ago.
Since then she has been gaining experience as Branch Treasurer for the Skegness Conservative Party and Association Executive Council Representative for the Boston and Skegness Conservatives. May I take this opportunity to thank everyone that voted for me and indeed thank those too that didn t, yet did turn out to vote, she said.
