A great place to escape to
By David Chamberlain, auxiliary nurse

Hove seafront is a great place to escape to, away from the hustle and bustle. Just being by the sea is great. It doesn't feel like a tourist area, but has a laid-back, village atmosphere.

The prom attracts roller-bladers, baby buggies and dog walkers. There are football games and sports like frisbee on the grassy areas, and an area for playing boules.

Because of all this activity, I like to stop at the open-air cafés and watch the world go by or admire the splendour of the West Pier and the old buildings along the front.

Hove seafront just has to be one of the best parts of Hove. It is the best park in the city and the perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon. Watching the world go by, you wonder what it must have been like a hundred years ago...probably not much different - which is why it's so wonderful!

Hove seafront in the sunlight, at the end of the day, looking at the sunset with the boy of my dreams...In that moment I guess I couldn't ask for anything more!

I lived in Hangleton, Hove between 1951, the year I was born and 1976, the year I got wed. I remember as a child the West End Cafe, mum and dad used to take me there on a Sunday afternoon, we had tea and cakes. It used to be very busy; sadly it got demolished to make way for the new cafe, which was not so good. Does anyone else remember it?
