When volunteering in the shop over the summer I met a lovely young family with two young boys visiting from Bolton and crabbing on the pier for the first time. They bought crabbing equipment from me and needed some help getting started, then they wanted to know where the toilets were and a few other things, which I gladly helped with. The boys had a great time and gave me an update every time they caught a crab and even came running after me as I was leaving to say they’d caught a hermit crab
The dad bought a book of raffle tickets in appreciation of my help and they all had a wonderful time, which I’m sure they’ll remember fondly
