It was a killer hot day and molly was stuck in Bristol waiting for her connecting train to Bath. There were massive delays on the line she needed due to technical difficulties on the line according to the guard. Molly heard her phone buzz and looked at the caller ID it was Charles.

"Dawsey where are you?" he spoke before molly had even a chance to say hello

"stuck in Bristol, my trains delayed and I mean major delayed"

"good then, come on get a ticket for Weston super mare, I am taking Sam there for a few days as the weather is so nice."

"aint that a bit far"

"Geography still not your strong point Dawes its about a hour in the car on the M5"

"still that's a little bit far, ... sorry one sec Charles can I call you back"

"one adult to Weston super mare please one way" molly said to the train attendant

She paid for her ticket and rang Charles back who answered on his hands free.

"so come on then boss man what's so fantastic about Weston super mare then"

"well I am there for a start"

"that's what smurf said about Newport and that was a shit hole" she paused remembering that actually it wasn't that bad and how she would give anything to see smurf again " go on what else " she sniffed

"the pier and there's donkeys molly are you telling me that you have never been to the seaside"

"nah dad clamed that we could never afford it besides he couldn't drive us and 'e weren't inviting nan"

"oh right well best go shouldn't really be on my phone on the motorway even if it is on hands free. We should be in Weston in 45 minuets.

"ok see you soon " molly finished as the phone went dead.

Molly arrived in Weston to see Charles stood on the platform with Sam who was wearing sunglasses and giving molly a toothy grin.

"molly" he shouted and ran towards her

" 'ello scamp " molly smiled down at him.

Charles walked towards them and greeted molly with a kiss.

"hello dawsey how are you?"

"hot sweaty bothered mingin' the trains were a nightmare"

"come on then lets go get something to eat and then we can check in to the B&B" and with that he put molly's bag inn the boot of his car, and drove up to the sea front and parked the car.

They found a small fish and chip shop and decided to munch their chips on the beach. They sat on the beach as the tide was out and thankfully there weren't many sea gulls dive bombing around trying to steel food from them.

"slow down Sam" Charles called over to Sam who was wolfing down his chicken nuggets and chips and had managed to smear tomato sauce all up the side of his face and molly laughed. They finished their chips and walked along the sands

" 'ear Sam wanna ride on the donkeys" molly called after Sam who was a few paces ahead of molly and Charles.

"YAY donkeys". Sam shouted as he ran towards the donkeys and climbed on one of them. Molly paid for two donkey rides , one for Sam and one for herself, she saw one of the donkeys was called Roseabya so she had to ride that it was a funny joke between her and Charles.

They spent the rest of the evening on the pier playing in the arcade. As the sun began to set molly and Charles were walking back along the sands with Sam asleep in Charles arms.

"come on lets get back to the hotel." Charles whispered in to molly's ear and the three of them walked back to the B&B and Charles tucked Sam up in his bed
