A Disappointing Day
Have you ever had that place you always enjoy going to? Well I used to have one until one very disappointing day. My name is Darren, I'm fifteen years old and I come from Coupar Angus. I attend Blairgowrie High School. I enjoy doing plenty of things such as going on bike runs or just hanging out with my friends. When I was little I also enjoyed many things but nothing made me happier than when i went to visit the beautiful seaside town of Arbroath.
Arbroath is a town just up from Dundee (so a good palce to go if you love the seaside but don't want a long drive.) I don't exactly recall the very first time I was there as I must have been very young but something you never forget is when you step out of the car for the first time and the smell of the Arbroath seaside fills your lungs. For me I can only comepare this smell to some sort of drug (one that I most definatly have an addiction to.) Some people don't like the smell of the seaside but for me this is one of my favourite things about the town of Arbroath. When I smell this beautiful scent now, anywhere I am, it reminds me of all the spectacular and wonderful times I had at this amazing seaside town that I love. There are several things in Arbroath that are fun and interesting to do. You could go down to the dry, sandy beaches and if your feeling brave you could go paddling in the ice cold water. One of my fondest memories is the feeling of seaweed inbetween my toes and while most people would find it repulsive, it is one of my favourite feelings, like standing bare foot in a field of long, thick grass the only difference being is the freezing water splashing against your knees as the waves come in (and also i'm sure when you come out of long grass your feet aren't blue from being so numb!) Who knew something so cold could make you feel so warm inside.
