And there's the Holiday Inn, home of Lillies where I swear I spent as much time at university as I did in lectures :)<BR/><BR/>Great to hear there are plans to develop it - it's always looked a little lost and lonely but in a perfect spot.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431189593918564945.post-27015566596963509992009-01-24T00:45:00.000+02:002009-01-24T00:45:00.000+02:00I am soooo glad to have found your blog :)I lived ...I am soooo glad to have found your blog :)<BR/>I lived in PE from 1970 to 1998 (now residing in Atlanta, GA) and your gorgeous photos brought back so many memories.<BR/>I too had wonderful Sunday after-church icecreams at the Red Windmill, not to mention some fairly serious partying in the parking lot in my teenage years!!!<BR/>I linked your blog to my own (www.jacquelinegates.blogspot.com) so that my American friends can see the beauty that they'd miss if they only visit CT and JHB.<BR/>Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with all of us.<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Jacqui<BR/>PS I haven't yet found a picture of the Opera House. I was very prominent in PE Theater for many years and would love to see some pics of my "second home".<BR/>Really liked the one of Mannville - another of my thespian heavens!Jacqui Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060949990272878353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431189593918564945.post-40711931503099509472009-01-23T19:06:00.000+02:002009-01-23T19:06:00.000+02:00Unusual colouring.

Thi...SAM--<BR/>Hooray for some more childhood memories! This one goes back to my dad's childhood. As a little boy, he'd call it "the pole with the ball on top". When we were kids, doing the typical "Sunday afternoon drive" along the beach, we'd look out for it. We'd often stop at the (old) Red Windmill, too, for icecream, or the Oceana Tea Room for tea and scones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431189593918564945.post-33571298266812194422009-01-23T08:26:00.000+02:002009-01-23T08:26:00.000+02:00I didn't know this.

It will be nice to walk from Hobie and stop there as a halfway stop and have something to drink.Firefly the Travel Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278794823093520621noreply@blogger.com
