Black forest gateau, pineapple upsidedown cake, crimplene, psychedlic
prints, brown towelling and a particularly lurid pair of orange trunks
all made star appearances in our 70s splashmob at Redgate Beach in
Torquay. My pal Matt had the idea, after feeling sad that the beach,
which was packed in its heyday, is now officially out of bounds -
according to the council at least - because there's no safe way of
getting to it. Undeterred, we climbed around the rocks at low tide,
armed with lilos, beach balls, and other paraphernalia, and set up camp
on the beach. There was a 70s spread of egg rolls, quiche, and
pineapple and cheese on sticks, as well as the aforementioned cake. Very
obligingly the sun came out - just like the heatwave of 76 - and the
swimming was divine, in calm, warm water.
