"The Chalet Man - Flight to Simplicity"
Yesterday at Goring on Sea, the hottest April day in England since 1949!
The signs on the Beach Hut doors say :-
 'Happiness is a day on the Beach'.
To me, the out of focus neat, tidy, identical houses with their TV aerials;  the tarmacked road symbolising too much transport and the pathway on which the overcrowded planet can walk.
These are the pressures he is trying to escape from. 
Note the fold up chairs used as people stops and his dog under the seat.
I did ask his permission before taking this Image.
He was surprised that anyone cared.

P.S. autumn  2023
I was told by chalet holders that sadly, the man has now died. They gave me contact details and I was able to send mounted, framed, copies of my photo to his wife and to each of their children as a thank you…… I hope it brings back happier memories to them all.
