Bournemouth

Parked on a hill overlooking the town this afternoon looking down at an area I have often walked through, Catholic Church, Sacred Heart, The Echo offices and a lovely restaurant Print Rooms and the old Bristol and West office. I had never seen the buildings from this spot and was quite taken by it


The Bournemouth Anthem

Our Bournemouth Through heath and pines in hidden chimes, The landscape yet unfounded Its sandy beach and rolling waves, Fine vision here abounded.

Our founders dreamed their dreams Of how this paradise would grow, Into a graceful watering place Where health and beauty flow.

Two centuries gone and it has grown With folks from many places Who came here, loved it, chose to stay, Round beach and fine green spaces.

And still in this great bustling town, With salty air and scent of pine.

Young and old still dream their dreams, Our Bournemouth - yours and mine.
