An aerial tour of the English seaside in the company of John Betjeman A swooping seagull takes its flight From Weymouth to the Isle of Wight From Cornish cliff tops wild and bare To crowds at Weston-super-Mare The seaside seen as history Bournemouth, Butlin's and Torquay Whatever paddles, surfs or sails Braves the waves or rides the gales A scrapbook made at Christmastime Of summer joys in film and rhyme.
